    Hold on a moment while I check the parking lot...

    I have a cup of "dryer coins" I could take an image of when I get back to the house.

    I really like this crusty old half. Too bad for the scratch. I think its an O-103 R2.

    Aren't there hundreds of these threads for parking lot finds? There have been a ton of threads in the last few months. Maybe rename this thread to the Official PMD & Parking lot finds thread then whenever a new thread pops up we can direct them here?

    Probably 100+ years ago but i think it still qualifies as a parking lot find...in spirit of course. ;)

    This came out of a self service supermarket checkout coin return. I already throw it back into circulation for some kid to find.

    This token was made circa 1905 from iron salvaged from the CSS Virginia, AKA "The Merrimac." The piece is extensively damaged by rust from improper storage. Buying a better one is very expensive these days.


    If you hold it to you ear, you might hear the cannon balls from the USS Monitor bouncing off it during the fateful March 1862 day at Hampton Roads, Virginia.

    Here is a miniature horseshoe that was made from some of the same salvaged metal.
