I found THREE 1956-P's in my pocket change this week. I have no idea where I picked these ups.

Found a 1916 in change about a month ago. Sounds like yours is in much beter shape than mine.

The oldest coins I find in change are Jefferson Nickels (not the new ugly ones). I think this is because the design was unchanged for so many years. Finding one from the 40s (not a War Nickel) or 50s is not a big deal, while finding a Wheat Back Cent is rare.

I also found a silver-alloy war nickel in change about a month or so ago. Went right into my Whitman type album.

I still find older Jeffersons but rarely from the 30s or 40s. 1964's still show up frequently.
