best change find of 2016

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

Why waste time with links when there are no real serious buyers for my coins?

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

    Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.

    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. :phttp://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.

    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.
