Ajaan's 1893 Liberty nickel, found inside an old piano.

(Sorry, no picture- he gave it to the moving man.)



Bigtime36's 1944-S silver War nickel found in circulation, in a bank roll.

Looks pretty nice for a circ find- the ones I get in change periodically are usually very well worn and almost black!

Lucky roll! That happened to me, once.

    I would have voted for Dons (Ajaan) nickel if he had offered it, or the piano, to me.
    I've known him since kindergarten and I'm not so sure there ever was a 1893 nickel or a piano.

    According to his story, I believe the piano was in the basement of the house they just moved into.

    Yep. That's the story.

    It's the first time I can remember somebody winning a monthly award without a photo of the find, but it's probably happened before. In this case, the photo of the old piano was good enough! (John upgraded you to a proof for your sigline trophy, Don, since there was no picture of the actual find.) image
