I get so much interesting change dealing with retail daily that just throw it in my back pocket and forget about it till wife gets ready to do laundry and puts whatever my finds were into our "old change pulled from circ." bucket.


Did however get one so unusual that it stuck out in my mind.

$10 1934 Series A

Got a 1956 dime in change from a vending machine a few weeks back. First silver I can ever remember getting.

I found a 1945-D War Nickel in my change the other day, but I don't know where I got it. -Preussen

I found an original 1907 IHC in F-12 condition in my cash register last week.

Found a 1939 Nickle in my pocket....don't know how good it is...but I do know it's older than me

I found a 1942 liberty dime yesterday in the coin machine slot at Commerce Bank where the coins that can't be read by the machine. that made my day.


And another thing is that my gf who works at Chase bank recieved $14 worth of 1964 and a few 1967 half dollars. But she had to share half with her co workers. Sucks huh?! LOL.

I just got a 1917 Mercury dime from the post office. The rim is worn off.

I got four just yesterday of note.

The first was a choice gem Utah (D) quarter.

Remarkably I also got a nice '73-D quarter that looked like it was fresh out of a mint set. It's pretty gemmy even by mint set standards but has a tiny bit of corrosion right in front of Washington's face which probably caused the owner to spend it. Of course it still fits in my "from circulation" set since there's no way to be certain that it's a mint set coin. It's a big improvement over my current example and the first addition to the set in some time.

I also got an '87-D that's a superslider. It's no mint set coin and was struck by heavily eroded dies by the standard for this date. It's no variety or anything so will probably be returned to circulation.

Finally there's a '69-D in AU-58 except for a lightly damaged reverse. It doesn't appear to be a mint set coin but is fairly nice anyway. The damage is like one would expect if it were stepped on while it was lying on concrete.

I've been finding a surprising number of high grade clad quarters recently. It looks like collector activity rather than old coins coming out of storage. Of course the scarcities aren't represented but there are some really neat old clads getting spent.

Monday while collecting the money from the Coke machines at the business I looked down into the change box and BLAZING up at me were two proof quarters, a 1976-s Bicentennial and a 1974-s, both clad. They both looked as if they were taken out of the sets moments before. Sadly this is usually a sign that someone's collection has been comprised. I gave them both a dip in acetone (followed with distilled water rinse)when I got home in hopes of preventing the handling signs from showing up. Also found a circulated 1943 war nickel the same day.

That got me started again. While taking some business deposits to the bank today I bought four rolls of halves, nothing. But I haven't been through the $25 box of cents yet, lol.

I got a AU/BU Missouri quarter that is apparently missing the copper layer. It has a silver looking edge (it is clearly clad though, not silver).

tightbudget

Nothing. Just a few wheats.

BBN

Nothing, but if you live in southern Illinois be on the lookout for a 1937 XF buffalo and a 1938 Jefferson with 3 visible steps in change somewhere. Location of deposit is yet to be determined.

It's most likely plated - either silver or platinum. One of those novelty sets that HSN sells...
