Hmm...I can't really decide which was my favorite, but here were my interesting finds from circulation: 1964 Dime & 1963 Quarter (both were in my pocket change in highschool) 1935 Merc Dime (found it in a roll of pennies) 1964 Dime (found it in a roll of pennies) 1990 brass LCM (cool looking yellow coin) 1917 Buffalo (date is barely readable, but it's there!) and, if it turns out to be authentic...a 1970 S DDO! |

My favorite is a 1923 Mercury dime that a customer gave to me during a transation. I like it the best out of all my coins. |

I would have to say the most valubale was an 1883 with cents V Nickel that I pulled from a roll in ~AU50. The oldest would be a 1842 large cent from a coin machine. And the rarest would be a 1950 proof nickel that I pulled from a roll.

probably the 1903 Barber half I saw sitting in a tellers tray once at the bank. He gave it up without question. Love the older half dollars.

I found a roll of silver quarter from a bank. Also, in 2003 or so me and my friend found rolls of nickels and half of every roll were Buffalo nickels!! Also found a 1981-P Susan B. Oldest coin is a 1904 Indian Head penny and some Walker's/Franklin's from roll searching. |

Hello to all. These are some great finds. I made a pretty good find myself tonight. Someone bought a CD at my register in electronics, so as I was putting away the coins they gave me, I noticed one was a Wheat penny. I saw the reverse first, so I thought "cool, a Wheat penny," but as I looked at the obverse side, I found to my amazement it was a 1909! I have a 1909 no VDB already that I bought, so I looked at the back, and sure enough it was a 1909 VBD. It's in excellent condition too; the cheekbone is just barely worn, and it still has a lot of shine to it on both sides. It's in much better condition than most of my newest wheat pennies. Well, that's my new best find. Good luck to everyone. |

here are 2 coins tied for my favorite circulation find. The first would be a 1943 Italian 20 cent coin in GEM BU (and I mean GEM!). THe other is a 1977D cent that has a masonic compass counterstruck into the obverse. Here is a pic of the latter: Image:  mn.jpg33.68 KB |

Let's see....cents; I've found two 09 VDB's, a 24d, an 84 DDO, a 95 DDO and a 1999 Wide AM (those last two I found last week on consecutive days). Nickels; the oldest was a 1901, a 38d Buffalo in EF, countless warnickels. Dimes; not much; I never look! Quarters; a long time ago found a dateless Standing Liberty, but that was about 20 years ago. Halves; a 1902o and a 1912d both in bank rolls. |

My favorite would be a steel cent that I found in a coin roll. A red 1959 cent and a 1911 cent are tied for 2nd.

Not exactly in circulation, but I found a 21p merc in a roll of silver. The same weekend, I got a 21 Peace for $5 at an auction where commons were going for $4-4.50, normally $3.50 retail. Everyone thought it was just another 21. One day in the sixties I opened a roll of nickels that had 25 warnix and a few Buffalos. Even then, warnix were worth a substantial premium,and had been pulled for years. Sorta like finding 40% halves today. Prolly pulled a couple 28P Peace dollars over the years. They're relatively common around here. Edited by biggfredd
