What is the grade of your pocket change?

airplanenut

What would you say the average grade is?

Since I normally only get dimes, quarters, and the occasional nickel, my change tends to look MS... but banged up, so I'll say MS62... obviously there will be the rarer VG quarter from the 60s or nickel from the early 60s...

What would you grade your change?

I got a AU 1966 Dime from a pop machine at work.

But most is 70's-90's, in au to low ms for me

Mrpawn

It's called soda, not pop

I see a fair number of quarters from the mid-to-late 60s and most of them are VG at best.

Most of the cents and dimes I see are VF at worst, while I see a lot of nickels from the 60s that are pretty worn.

Most of my quarters lately ALL look MS67+

Today I got a 1954-S nickel that was probably VG to F. Hard to say the average, I'd say XF/AU, though I did send a state quarter to PCGS a while back right from my pocket (just for fun), and it came back MS-65!

There goes "UNcirculated"

I'm always just for fun looking out for the 1965 Wash.quarters since they are the first year of the clads,the ones I find are usually in darn good shape for a coin some 37 years old. I'd say they could go another 35 or so years in circulation before they might become dateless.

Pop? Soda? Caffine Vending Machine?

Soda=carbonated water to be mixed with Scotch
Pop=Refreshing beverage in a variety of flavors, very often sold in vending machines

Airplanenut: I don't know if you would consider A casino coin I got from a .25 cent machine as pocket change.I pulled out a standing liberty quarter out of the bin.It's pretty well worned and you can't read the date.I've been looking at it for a week and still can't find it.

It's soda in the Northeast US... and this part of the country was the first admitted to the union... so it is DEFINITELY SODA!!!

SnV- it counts... keep looking!

Well, in the Northwest, it is Pop, so there!

jtryka

It's pretty much pop everywhere but the Northeast. In fact, I am drinking a can of pop right now!

As I reach into my pocket

I find :
1979 1C Au-55 (actually suprised its this nice)
1988 5C xf-40
1989 10c Au-50
1979 25c vf-20
1965 25c vg-8

gemseeker

Most of my change ranges from VF to AU with a few at F. A few might get low end MS grades too. I would guess the average would be around low end AU.

Youz guys, you Yankees, don't know nothing In the southeast, any carbonated and flavored beverage is called Coke, doesn't matter if it's Pepsi, Dr. Pepper, Mt. Dew.

Edited to add: Left out, most of my pocket change seems to be XF-AU
