jayhawkfan New Member United States 19 Posts	Posted 04/05/2012 03:18 am Hello all, I figured there might be some interest in this, started collecting coins about 14 months ago, and so far this is my collection. I work at a grocery store, and am responsible for keeping the safe balanced, so I see all the change that comes in, and am lucky enough to be able to find silver and other unique coins before they're sent out to the registers. The list, in no particular order: US: 7x Silver Washington quarters, 1953-1964 6x Silver Wartime nickels, 1943-1945 24x Silver Roosevelt dimes, 1946-1964 2x Silver Winged Liberty (Mercury) dimes, 1942-1943 4x Silver Kennedy 40% halves, 1966-1969 2x Proof Roosevelt dimes, 1974 and 1979 Bicentennial Type 1 Eisenhower dollar Bicentennial Kennedy half 43x Wheat pennies, 1929-1958 1936 Buffalo nickel Roll of 2005 Westward Journey nickels, unopened 4 various error dimes Some oddities: Gold-plated Bicentennial quarter (weighed it and compared it to another bicentennial quarter, it has about 1 dollar worth of gold on it) 2 silver-plated Statehood Quarters (Virginia and Pennsylvania) Plated penny, not sure what it was plated in (maybe brass?) Foreign: 2x Silver Canadian (80%) dimes, 1952 and 1965 3x Canadian quarters, '68,'77,'07 2x Canadian dimes, '78,'87 16x Canadian pennies, '66-'10 Australian 5, 10, 20, and 50 cent coins, modern Australian 1 and 2 dollar coins, modern 2 and 5 Eurocent coins, modern 1 Euro coin, modern 2000 Somalian 10 shilling coin 1960 French Franc coin 1977 Bermuda 5 cent coin Japan 10 and 50 yen coins, Late 80's? I forget how to read the dates on these 1990 Netherlands 10 cent coin English 5 and 10 pence coins 1948 English? 1 Shilling coin 1956 German 1 Deusche Mark coin. Feel free to ask any questions, and if you want a better picture of a certain coin I'm happy to oblige! Report this Post to the Staff

rgathright Valued Member United States 264 Posts	Posted 04/05/2012 08:27 am Wow! Thanks for sharing these photos. That coin box made me chuckle. Where is that 1936 Buffalo nickel? Report this Post to the Staff
jayhawkfan New Member United States 19 Posts	Posted 04/05/2012 1:34 pm unholyroller: Kind of hard to be disappointed with that loss when we were essentially playing an NBA team. Rock Chalk! And yes, all of these came from my workplace (except for the Australian coins, save one 2 dollar coin which was in a roll of nickels). Most were bundled in with coins in the safe; However, some were spent at my store (how the cashiers didn't catch it, I don't know). Sorry for the quality, I don't own a camera. Just using the one on my phone. rgathright: Sorry about that, it was in one of the cases. Oh, and the coin box holds my loose change, including any dollar coins and half dollars people spend. $32 dollars in dollar coins, $8 in half dollars! Overall about $70 in change.

unholyroller Pillar of the Community United States 1903 Posts	Posted 04/05/2012 11:42 pm What is that fancy 12 sided coin? Report this Post to the Staff
jayhawkfan New Member United States 19 Posts	Posted 04/06/2012 12:06 am unholyroller: That is an Australian 50 cent piece. Toying around with my phone, I found out that I can take higher resolution pictures. Wish I had known that sooner. Well, here's my favorite coin from my collection. Not bad for a circulated Mercury huh? Report this Post to the Staff
