I found a WLH in circulation yesterday.

BEATEN, and without date. It looked as if was set on fire and rolled down a gravel hill, then hastily snuffed out with a tandem team armed with only a lawn mower and a chainsaw.....

But I did let me geek hang out "cool a Walker!" and everyone around me thought I was a nut. I quietly pocketed it with delight.

I never spend change. Got home this evening and found that I have acquired a 1964 Roosevelt in very fine condition. It does have a bit of darkening around the edge. Not sure what that is. Also, a 1940 wheat. Coincidentally my birth year.

I am out in Indy this week, so strange to see so many D mints!! I never see them in Maryland! So I am keeping all I get as they may have a home when I get home and check my collection! Nothing exciting just fun to see coins I have to search the world for in my pocket. And if I don't find, I end up buying!

My wife dumped her change purse in my lap last night. Time to clean out her copper and nickels I thought.

But last night I was surprised!

Amongst the ten copper cents was a 1944 LWC.

Amongst the almost fifty Zincolns was a 2009 LP1! My first LP1 from circulation!

Amongst the other thirty or so quarters and dimes was one nickel. Just one. Usually she has ten or more.
Rest in Peace

A BU 1943-S Nickel will still buy a cup of coffee, if you sell it first.

And gas is still 25¢ a gallon, '25¢ face value of junk silver', that is!

A 1963-d Roosevelt in VG today in change. I don't pay any attention to my change until I get home and sort it. Maybe I should pay attention and ask if they have any more when I find this silver. Of course, that means I would have to start wearing my glasses.
