As a member of the old Coin World forum, a gentleman named Coin Nut started a popular thread entitled Interesting Find/Finds from Circulation. When Coin World cancelled its forum, the thread was pushing 10,000 "reads," or hits.
I started a similar thread on another coin collecting forum, and while its "hit" meter isn't working, I would guestimate nearly 5,000 have looked at it, and between 500 and 600 have posted something.
So, I would like to try the same idea on this fine forum, and see what happens. Hopefully, it's of interest. If not, well, we gave it a try.
Let me start. I hit WalMart, City Market and Safeway today, and did have some success.
1937 Buffalo Niclel, barely readable date.
1976 Bicentennial JFK
1920 Wheat Cent (Second of this date I have found in the last week.)

Ask and ye shall receive. A wheatie is simply any Lincoln cent dated from 1909 through 1958

Today at work I found a 1943-P War Nickel in VF to XF. The best one I've found yet. Most are usually well worn.

I find a lot of old Jefferson nickels in circulation. Because the Jefferson nickel hasn't changed much in appearance since its inception in 1938 (with exception of WWII nicks), most of the older nickels readily blend in with the others.
I believe its still possible to collect a nearly complete set of Jeffs from pocket change. For this reason, if any start-up collector seeks advice on what to collect, this is one area I steer them toward.
