In today's change:
VG 1913(P) Wheat cent
VF 1949-D Wheat cent
AU 2009-D LP2 Cent
BU 2009-D LP3 cent
BU American Samoa-D Quarter

Yesterday, Home Depot parking lot:
BU (details) 2009-D LP2 Cent found on the pavement!
(found with obverse side up, some scratches on both sides)

I finally got a 'found on the ground' 2009 Cent!
(after picking up several BU Cents from parking lots, and then
finding out that they were 2008-D Memorials, instead of 2009 LP Series...)

I got my second Territorial Quarter in change this week!

It is a 2009-D Guam Quarter. This one involved some air travel.

The Coinstar machine at the grocery store had almost $1.50 in change, a South Africa 2 rand, two British pennies, about $1.25 in Canadian change (all different KMs), a Bermuda 25 cent, and a Kazakstani coin. It almost covered the cost of what I was buying :)
Rest in Peace

Got my first 2009 Philadelphia(usually get D's) coin this week. It's an AU LP2. Funny thing is I got the LP2 after I received about 5 or 6 LP3's.

If you define "found in circulation" to include "found in a CoinStar
reject bin", then the coin in this thread applies.
Rest in Peace

Well, it wasn't 'not in circulation'.

How about "momentarily available outside of the collector market, due
to negligence on part of the previous owner"?


The Shield nickel missed its big chance to return (briefly) to
circulation, due to its .7mm smaller diameter than its descendants.

This also made it a 'red flag' that would keep 57 of its descendant
Buffalo nickels from returning (again, briefly) to circulation...

I found a 1988-S Proof Washington in our quarter drop jar at my club(it's a pickel jar full of water with a shot glass at the bottom)It's for winning free drinks. And whats worse this is the second one in a month. The last proof was a 1979 quarter

Today: two Silver Quarters for 25¢ in one day!

First, a VG-8 1953-S comes out of the grocery store's coin changer
(oh, yes, I heard the 'ping' when it dropped in the cup! ).

Then, I see an XF-40 1964-D in a restaurant drawer, and I asked the
young cashier if I could buy 'that' Quarter from him. I gave him a
BU Virgin Islands-D Quarter for it, which is a 'fair deal' when you
think about it, 'cause the Virgin Islands-D Quarter is a far
lower mintage than the 1964-D (41 Million, versus 704,135,528 for
the 1964-D), and we all know that the 1964-D has basically no
'numismatic' value....


(....except for the Type 'C' reverse, especially in BU grade)

Seriously, the 1953-S is a wonderful find for me, because in 25 years
of saving silver Quarters from circulation, a 1953-S was not one of
the ones I've found.....
Whoops, late edit: I was digging
all of my 1964-D's out of my silver Quarters (to look for a 'Type C'
reverse) when lo and behold I found that I did have a 1953-S
in the box after all. Probably received in the 1980's, since I didn't
remember it being in there. So that makes two 1953-S's received in
change in a 25-year space (if I wait another 25 years, I might get
another one!)


(Naturally, I haven't found a 1932-D or a 1932-S in circulation...)

Got my first LP-4 today from circ! pretty quickly - I didn't get a log cabin until well after the rail splitter was released, and the others until well more than a month after release.
