Maybe $2.40 in US change. 1954 British Six Pence Roy Rogers "lucky piece" token from the 1950's 1971 British 1 Penny A note on the latter: It says "New Penny" commemorating the 1971 UK transition to the decimal. Some sellers on ebay have these 1971's listed for hundreds of dollars. These are worth only face value as 1.52 billion were minted.

Great haul, deadmunny!  Quote:It says "New Penny" commemorating the 1971 UK transition to the decimal. Some sellers on ebay have these 1971's listed for hundreds of dollars. These are worth only face value as 1.52 billion were minted. This really annoys me. It's the most common UK coin ever minted, and after 55 years is still one of the most common dates of 1p coins in circulation. All over the world whenever I look through a dealer's junk tray I see 1971 pennies. In South Africa a couple of years ago I bought a whole lot for face value and repatriated them as the dealer just wanted to get rid of the darn things!

First time a half dollar turned up for me. This 40%-silver coin was all alone in the reject slot at a local supermarket.

Two interesting coins from two separate Coinstars: a beat-up 1948-D dime (silver!) plus a 1966 nickel in exceptional condition. It looks like a choice proof, even though I know they didn't make proof sets for 1966. Can I safely assume this is a Special Mint Set coin? Looks special to me.....
