best change find of 2016

silverpop

well change finding wasn't so good this year but did manage to find this 1964 silver dime in change just a month ago
not a bad find overall and keeps the hunt going

The best change find I found in 2016 was a 1972 1C DDO, not the big one, but a FS-103.

That's a pretty good catch. Are you going to send it in?

I had a fairly nice year with change finds.
Not much silver (6 dimes, 2 war nickels), but like OhIHatetoWait, I also found a 1972 DDO Die #3, as well as a 1954-D/D/D RPM#1. Both of these were "change find firsts" for me.
Also a cool 1984 1c large cud and just yesterday found an unlisted 1972-D/D 1c RPM which I may/may not send to be listed.
Some older Lincolns as well, notably a 1928-S in F and a few other unlikely earlier dates, nothing great, just cool to find in change.

Received a 1953 S cent that I think would grade MS 65 RD at the local CVS

Found 1946 and 61-D Roosevelt dimes, and a 1943-S nickel, I usually never find silver, just lucky. A friend of mine found a 1979-P Anthony dollar, wide rim for me.

Plenty of Wheat cents and one silver 1964 Roosevelt....Change finds not so good this year... have a gallon ziploc to go through though to check for SHQ varieties....Cheers, RickO

1867 Shield Nickel with Rays, 1898 Liberty Nickel, 1964 Kennedy Half, half a dozen or so 40% clad halfs stand out as the hi lites

I received a no-date SLQ from a toll booth in PA. Thought that was pretty cool...

I was fortunate to find some cool stuff last year in change- so, I thought I'd put up my top 5 from last year. Hopefully, this year brings in a couple more keepers.

1.) 2016-D WDDR-001. I found this dime at a restaurant in Defiance, OH. I was fortunate enough to discover 3 more DDR varieties for this date. http://www.doubleddie.com/2247737.html

2.) Here is a 1974-D DDO. I found two this year searching rolls; but this one is the nicest. Close to 65- probably 64.

3.) I never would have thought I'd find a Walker searching rolls- here it is; 1941-D.

4.) Got this one back in change at a DQ in Bryan, OH by a teenage boy. He didn't even hesitate giving me this back in change...dang!

5.) Lastly, I found this Franklin searching rolls- a first too. It's a philly.

Jt's as easy as checking reject tray when walking out of the store...... little effort..
Got clad 4 quarters today from CoinStar.. very dirty ,, thought at 1st, they were foreign coins

silverpop

you never know what is lurking in your change nowadays and checking makes the thrill of the hunt more thrilling

A fellow over on the metal detecting forum posted his year end totals... and he did well on silver coins...
Slv Roosevelts 25
Slv Canada Dimes 1
Slv Wash Qtr 19
Slv Walking Liberty Half Dollars 2
A good year.... of course there were lots more finds including gold. Cheers, RickO

This one is not worth but a cent, but when I saw it in the take a penny tray on Christmas morning at a Casey's, it just spoke to me and said "Please **take me **, I haven't been out since 1985 and just want to go back into a jar somewhere"..... so I have it- for now.
