My wife gave me all her change from her job that she was saving,brought it home to me after I told her that I was going to start collecting coins so she brought home a large piggy bank full of pennies and silver. I might find something else I still have more to go though,i did find a 2005P nickle it probably nothing but I never seen one before.

You found an 11S in a change jar?

Do you know that's a $25 coin?

I think one of my first wheats was either a 1955 D or a 1957 D. I remember some kid on the bus in kindergarten back in 2004 gave it to me. He said that if I didn't "tell on him for eating green popcorn on the bus while it was moving" he'd give me 3 wheat cents..

My first wheat was a 1940 I picked off the ground about 12 years ago and showed my parents, who said it's an old coin, but I no longer have it, even though I got another one recently although it's more than likely not the same one.
