    Nice change finds.... the old way of coin collecting.... I have many found that way too.

    I also have a couple of gallons of wheat cents I need to search... keep promising myself

    I will do that...... Cheers, RickO

    They just have that "look" when you find one in change. I also like finding the 38 Jefferson nickels but haven't done that for awhile

    Change finds are the best - but it's getting tougher to do with more folks using credit cards. Nice finds!

    nothing like finding a old coin in change to make the thrill of the hunt even more fun



    and makes one wonder what else could be lurking in change

    Yes, nice Wheaties! I love when looking through my change and suddenly I see the reverse of a wheatie. My next thought before I flip it over to see the obverse is," com'on, let it be a 14d or any other valuable wheat!" The thrill of the hunt, right?

    yep the thrill of the hunt is what makes me check my change never knowing what could be lurking within
