Coin Collecting at the beach.

Just got back from a family vacation at Cocoa Beach, Florida. The first night I dreamed about coins, but they were foreign coins. imageisgust;

The second day I found a 2016 Lincoln Cent on the sidewalk at the hotel. It has beautiful rim toning on both sides! It was as if Jeannie had made it appear for me. image

    I'm not much of a beach person, so I take one day and seek out the local coin shops, and pawn shops looking for coins.

    I always carry my pocket piece a (1990 Ike 90% silver commemorative dollar) when I go to the beach.

    Just got back from Yellowstone national park where I carried it on hikes in bear country. It has been carried on hikes to Brice canyon national park and Zion national park.
    When I eventually get it holdered by PCGS it will probably not ever be for sale.

    OT a bit, but I always like to ask NP goers what their favorite park is and why, mind sharing??

    Yosemite, because of the rock climbing. :-)
    I even found a (CA/Yos) state quarter roadside there once, so maybe not OT? :-)

    Don't find much at the beach. The streets the place to go ! (to find coins)
