The oldest coin I ever found in change was an absolutely hideous 1883 Indian cent. |

Pocket change? That is a good question. The oldest coin that I found roll hunting is the 1911 Barber dime in my 7070.  I would have to guess that a 1938 Nickel would be the oldest from normal pocket change.  |

Sooo... buying milk today at the local Safeway. I was going to use a card, but I remember I had this really tattered and browned 5 I got yesterday at SF Chinatown... So I used it and what is this? A 1918 cent?  Best tasting milk I have ever bought! *sob* |

Someone paid me at Wal Mart with a 1909 VDB Wheat cent. A coin dealer told me it could grade between MS-60-63. It's the best looking coin, regardless of date, in my 1909-1958 album. Second place find is a 1923 Buffalo from the register at least VG. |

Some very worn common Liberty V nickels on occasion, ( more often than Buffalo's ) and many wheat cents, a few Mercury dimes, a lot of silver Roosevelt dimes, and a few silver Washington quarters and some 64 Kennedy's and other 40% halves. Funny thing, I don't look hard at pocket change anymore but can still spot an oddball without my glasses occasionally as the better coins seem to jump out at me anyway. Recently I remember getting two UNC RED 1962 D Lincolns at the same time and a Nice RED 1944 Wheat cent last week. They just have such a different appearance from newer coins even at arms length. |
