As a member of the old Coin World forum, a gentleman named Coin Nut started a popular threat 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.)

The best find in circulation that we have come across lately are several star notes (including an AU $1 bill). HOWEVER, before that, while counting down one of the tills at shift change, I found...are you ready...A SUPER NICE (I'd say EF+) 1918-D Lincoln Cent. It has a NICE RB coloring to it. (Of course, it now resides in a brand new 2x2 cardboard flip...lol!) I couldn't let that one go back into circulation. |

1917-D Buffalo in VF condition.
Saw it sitting in the drawer when the cashier was giving me change, and bought if from her for 5 cents!

Great day today- makes up for the lack of anything worth reporting recently. Not only did I find a pretty decent looking 1945-D silver nickel, but *drum roll* also a series 1935E Silver Certificate!! [:0] It's not in the greatest shape, it's limp as a wet rag and has lots of fold marks, but hey, it's the first Silver Certificate I've found in several years. Woo-hoo!! Rachel [:p] |

Another War Nickel today, this one's a 1944-D. Dad tried to swipe the previously mentioned Silver Certificate when I showed it to him! Sorry Dad, that's not your Father's Day present! Rachel [:p] |

Don't know if this really counts as "found in circulation", but I saw a really old penny on the ground the other day, bent over picked it up, and found out that it was a 1920 Wheatie!

1979 SBA. No big deal really, except wouldn't it be nice if they would start to circulate! Edited by Gary Burke
