Best I've done is two minor errors on two State Quarters, a small strike through, and a small die gouge

I have about ten crisp new $1 notes that I got at the bank. I don't know if there is any extra value, but the serial numbers must of had too much ink. The light green ink from the serial number on the bill below has bled to the bill's reverse.

Last week I found a worn 1939 nickel, a copper plated 1943 cent (my second one) in addition to three rolls of wheats!

I bought $300. worth of Kennedy halves last week because my favorite used book store gave me an old Kennedy whitman album.Outcome was- Full set to 2000 minus a few "P" mints the 64's and the 70-d. Plus an extra 1/2 roll of 65-69's.For the most part all the sixties dates are lightly circulated they had just came in to the bank from someone.I had fun doing it.Now I have a full coffee can of Kennedy halfs left over!I am back up to 6 coffee cans full of change in the closet.

Two weeks ago I found a full red 1960 Canadian cent. Probably MS64RD. How on earth did I receive a 40+ year old coin from Canada in such great condition is beyond me.

atarian · December 21, 2003 11:36AM

last kennedy splurge i had resulted in $15 in silver halves a nice 1942 half and some other interesting looking coins

Nothing too good for me. Just 1 Arkansas State Quarter Die Cracked. I spent it at 7-11

Senlathiel · December 21, 2003 12:28PM

I found 4 lincoln cents with die gouges/cracks this weekend.

I got this wild looking Illinois last night at the shopping mall:

Found somewhat crisp 1963A five dollar note. Haven't looked at it closely yet, but will probably spend it unless it's something special.

But am getting ready to roll up bunches of somewhat corroded wheaties and 3-4 nasty Indian head cents (nothing of any value beyond 1 cent, all found with metal detector), along with my new cents from pocket change. Hopefully a few kids out there watching their pocket change will get a kick out of finding these.

I'm trying to break the habit of saving cents just because the have wheat ears.....these are all common and damaged. I think I'd rather put that money to work buying something nice that will appreciate in value.

Might toss in some dateless Buffalos into my next nickel rolls.

I rarely find anything in my change, I usually have to go look for it ie: buy $200 worth of whatever coin from the bank. Tonight I was done with work and decided to go in and get a milk before punching out. I put my dollar in, took my milk and 50cents change and went home. Came home threw my change on the table and you can tell when you get silver when two coins clang together, so I knew something was up. Anyway got a VF+ 1957 quarter

canadiancoinguy · December 23, 2003 3:06PM

Alabalma quarter. Nothing specialabout it, just don't see too many state quarters around my place.

oldcameoproofsguy · December 23, 2003 3:11PM

I found an 1895 Indian head cent in change about two weeks ago in XF condition. I was pretty stoked to find one with so much detail left in it. To bad it is a fairly common date though. I wish I had my camera to take a picture of it, but I'm moving and it's in storage.

XpipedreamR · December 23, 2003 10:37PM

I haven't found anything good since this summer...1964 quarter.

PhillyJoe · December 23, 2003 11:20PM

The guy that sits next to me at work took his pocket change to a local bank's counting machine yesterday. When he looked in the reject bin, there was a 1922 Peace dollar in decent shape. Must have been the previous person's. I told him he should have bought all of the bags in the machine from the bank; probably some nice coins in there that weren't rejected.

Not too much here either. A minor off-center Virginia quarter today in the coffee can.

ksteelheader · December 24, 2003 12:44AM

1948 nickel and a 1964 dime....Ken

cladking · December 24, 2003 1:36AM

In the last couple weeks I've found a gem well struck 1974-D quarter with
a trace of wear and a nice AU '82-D type "d" reverse.

There have been several other keepers but these are the best.

mgoodm3 · December 24, 2003 1:48AM

no. nada. nuthin.

hockeyman1717 · December 24, 2003 2:02AM

Nothing great but yesterday i found on the ground 2 nickels, one was a 1940 and one was a 1954. In XF

Sphinx357 · December 24, 2003 4:39AM
