ebaybuyer · February 9, 2011 8:13AM

i was at the department store buying a few things, and just happened to look at my change as i was leaving, i have found silver dimes and quarters, war nickels, wheat cents, but this is a first. not a financial windfall, but it definately was an unexpected find !

i only posted the one side because the other side looks about the same.

RYK · February 9, 2011 8:15AM

It's obviously a 69-S DDO!

Tdec1000 · February 9, 2011 8:18AM

Im not seeing it?

Tdec1000 · February 9, 2011 8:19AM

NM, I see it now!! Neat find!

AnkurJ · February 9, 2011 8:21AM

Yup! Very cool!

ebaybuyer · February 9, 2011 8:23AM

cant be RYK, its a zinc

JupitarCoins · February 9, 2011 8:57AM

Awesome coin!!
Whatever it is

I know the Mint is under budget pressure, but they should at least put some marks on the planchets.

Looks like a weak strike

RunnersDad · February 9, 2011 11:43AM

Understanding that not everyone is a collector, I think this goes to show that just about nobody actually pays attention to what the cashier hands back to them. Even if I wasn't a collector I would have set that aside because it was "cool".

Regardless, that is very cool change find!

An "unstruck" 69-S DDO ?

okracer · February 9, 2011 11:46AM

Weak strike?

mikeyg · February 9, 2011 12:09PM

oddly enough some of the cashiers I have spoken to try to get rid of coins that arent the usual cent,dime,nickel or quarter because they say the head cashier will make them replace any weird coinage with their own money.

MsMorrisine · February 9, 2011 12:53PM

good score.

been hoping to find one of those one day.

A potential 1959D Wheat Ear "Fantasy" coin!!

edix2001 · February 9, 2011 12:57PM

I received a handful of cashier rejects, mostly Canadian cents, but included a clad dime blank and a cent planchet.

ebaybuyer · February 9, 2011 12:58PM

i thought the pic was clear enough but a little explanation wouldnt hurt, its a type two copper coated zinc blank planchet, 38.6 gn on the digi, just a "smidgen" under the diameter of a penny.

I once found a blank planchet in a roll of unc. cents. I forget right now what year it is but at least I know what the year and mint mark should have been. I kept it in the roll I found it in and placed it on the end of the tube. Good eye to catch it, good pick up.

A zinc 69-S? Even rarer!

robkool · February 9, 2011 2:02PM

ebaybuyer · February 9, 2011 4:48PM

ricko · February 9, 2011 11:22PM

Yep.. cool find. I found one in a bag of cents a couple months ago... I kept it... Cheers, RickO

Can't offer up a grade, then, sorry. I have enough trouble grading these when I see both sides!

johnny9434 · February 10, 2011 3:51AM

TrustNo1 · February 10, 2011 5:09AM

the mint was selling collector beginners sets, I wonder if this is one of the blanks from the sets?
