    Found where? You might get them from the bank, but they don't give them away. Neither does the Mint. Metal detecting? Road kill?

    I think he means found laying on the sidewalk or in change. Anything you gave face value for.

    I had a pretty good idea what he meant, but he needs to be more specific.

    Shoot! I hope he doesn't have a gun in his hand.

    In 1996, while stationed at Holloman AFB in New Mexico, I got a 1955 DDO in pocket change. At first, I thought it was fake, but then had it authenticated at a local coin shop. I could not believe my luck!! Don't have a picture, but I put the grade at AU-53; I sold it a couple of years ago when I upgraded to an MS-61 BN, but I'll never forget that day!!

    Well, since you started this thread, how about posting some photos of your errors, too?

    My favorite is my 2001-D Kennedy missing the clad layer on the reverse. I found it in a $100 Mixed P&D bag I bought from the Mint, but it doesn't count because it cost me 68c.

    My second most favorite is a 2005-S KS SQ Silver Proof with a die gouge on the bison. What makes this most appealing for me is that it is graded NGC PF70 UCAM MINT ERROR. Of course, this one doesn't count either because I bought the proof set from the Mint.

    I guess the best one is my double struck 1971-S Silver Business Strike Eisenhower.

    Not terribly valueable but it was fun defining the actual error and in getting PCGS to recognize it.
