Circulation find

MasterGuns

I recently got a young bartender at our local watering hole interested in collecting. Mostly wheaties since they are still relatively easy to find in circulation. Even hooked her up with a couple of whitmans to hold her finds. Anyway, whenevver she finds one, we alternate on who gets it. Her or I. Well, yesterday was her turn. And what did she find? a 1904 IHC. Never seen her so excited. So I guess it's still possible to find a 100 plus year old coin in circulation.

That's pretty cool. Has never happened to me.

The only obsolete designs I've ever gotten in change were four Buffalo nickels. Three came from a roll at the bank. It had some old Jeffs, too, but the Buffaloes were two dateless coins and a slick 1920. The fourth Buff I got from circulation was a pretty decent midgrade 1937-D from a Pepsi machine. That psyched me out.

This thread is worthless without pics (of her!)

I'm still waiting for that buff to drop out of the vending machine here at work. Think I'll give it a shot now.

Hey Gunnie... are you in a relatively small community? That is where I find the old coins still occasionally circulating. Just curious... Cheers, RickO

Niiiiice! Thanks for sharing. Few things get me as excited as finding an old coin in change or in a roll!
