Quote: When I was a kid you could still get Morgans and Peace dollars at the bank. Me as well, but a dollar was a lot of money back then. I couldn't afford very many. I do remember going along with a friend to buy a trumpet. He paid for it with 40 silver dollars. |

First recollection of coin collecting was around 5 years old, when the mix was about half silver, half cupronickel clad. I still have a 1937 merc and 1944 Washington quarter I saved from back then. Edited by DoubleEagle20

Thanks Joe.
Except for the stains, it's a nice one. "Liberty" still is full.

1876 half dollar, made into jewelry likely a watch fob, pulled from the clean-out pit at a recycled newspaper paper mill when I was in college (posted in the grading forum a couple weeks ago). Like others here, pulling from change was more fun when I was a kid - Buffalo nickels, IHCs, Mercury dimes. 1888 dime is my oldest from change. OP's coin seems too good to have been circulating. I'd guess recently spent from a collection. Around 1976 a guy came into where I worked and paid with a crisp uncirculated $5 1935 silver certificate, which I still have. Always wondered if he had just inherited a collection or stolen one. |

Some pretty impressive finds here! Mine, not so much: Penny: 1928 LWCNickel: 1939 Jefferson Dime: 1961 Roosevelt Quarter: 1940 Washington Half: 1971 Kennedy (although I do have a COPY 1961 Confederate Half that I found in the drawer of the truck stop I worked in years ago, but that doesn't count) Dollar: 1971 Ike (though my best find was a 1995 ASE, just last week!)

My oldest is a 1920 Wheat cent, oldest Canadian is a 1929 cent in VG shape... the most interesting find was a Buffalo nickel 1936 clear date with head cut out, the rim is there and the head is too but the flat area around the head is missing, also a drill hole at the top for a jewellery setting, working on pictures and only been CRH for 8 months, give me time  Edit: spelling Edited by ASLAN TVorlon

After Midnight so I have to post a new one but I have a major update, just opened a few rolls of nickels and found some nice ones from 1960 and 1940 with FULL STEPS there was also a 5 Euro-cent (Italy with the Coliseum) and my oldest Indian head yet, badly worn and almost impossible to make out but it is 1923, the 3 is clear enough and the 2 could only be a 2. First nickel box of the year down and no silver but I'm happy with my oldest. I forgot to put my oldest on other rolls: Dime: only 1946 no Merc's yet but my first ever and in good shape. Also a 1968 50% silver Canadian, for the oldest and only foreign silver find. Quarter : 1966  Half : 1968 40%, still waiting for a Walker to walk in. and I can't get large dollar rolls.

My oldest was a 1903 IHC about a month ago. Only IH I've ever found. Also found a 1909 LWC in the same $10 worth of rolls. |
