[QUOTE="sekrah, post: 1080886, member: 28783"]Mother-in-law brought over a big container of change she's been filling for the past 5+ years. Not a single silver piece in it. I'm thinking she yanked them out and had a good laugh as I spent 4 hours going through it. Anyway, here are the highlights with my estimated grades. - Pulled out about $10 worth of pre-1982 pennies. (I'm a copper hoarder). - About a dozen nickles from 46-59. A 1954 (circ 47m) in rather decent shape (XF40) was the highlight - 11 wheat pennies. A 1952 (AU-50), 1957 (XF40) and 1953 D (XF40) stood out as the best. - Two 1968 Lincoln pennies, one in AU-53, the other could potentially fetch an MS-62. The Au-53 has a [U]spectacular[/U] tone. I'll post pictures when I get a chance. - A few dozen 1980-2010 in MS-65+ or better. I can't help but tucking these away when I see them. - 2005 Canadian Dime, MS 62. - 1972 Canadian Nickle, AU-58. - A Bahama one-cent, 1998. Has Commonwealth of Bahamas on the obverse and starfish on reverse. Anyone know anything about it? Anyone else spend 4 hours rooting through a big lot and have very little to show for it?[/QUOTE]
