Saw the clerk handing me a particularly dark cent. Was hoping it was foreign or maybe a wheatie...

    I was pleasantly surprised. Broke the century mark.

    G-4 or so?

    I got one a few years ago and can attest to the fact that it is one of the Most Memorable personal numismatic events ever! Great find and a Major plus it's pre 1900! Of course a recent "kid" or accidental spending, too nice to have been banged up much. Your REAL find is the 1966 Washington Quarter DDo1 Baxter 16a I understand only Three are known today, rivaling the 1958 Lincoln cent DDo. ! image

    You're pretty much a cool-change-find magnet.

    Congrats! image

    Fantastic find! I've never seen anything earlier than a buffalo nickel in change ...

    I have found about a dozen of them in roll searches - have never gotten one in change though.

    Found at a grocery store. I have found one other indian in change, an 1898, back in 2002. I said to my wife as we pulled away : Man, I should have asked for all the change he had. But that's just being greedy, right? image

    Yeah, I've been pretty fortunate this year with change finds. My best year for obsolete coinage without a doubt. I don't roll search, but I do go over the quarters from my six coin-op washers & dryers, and I check all of my pocket change AND the coinmax (coinstar) reject slot religiously, no matter how much of a dork I look like. I think that's the key: Paying with cash 95% of the time, rarely if ever using change to keep from breaking a bill, and checking everything, every time. It's not work; I'm a coin collector image
