I think this is happening all over.
We have a bad economy, people are spending or selling old coins they have,
just to help with living expenses. And with the bad economy there are people
breaking into homes and stealing. Many of those coins get spent.
There are also hundreds of WWII era people ..passing on... everyday.
Many of these people leave old coins, and family members have no idea
of the value these coins have ...and just spend them.
Recently Justcarl posted he got silver dollars from a bank, that someone had just
deposited.
I see this most days at the coin shops.

GR58;
Your right there in retiree country, along with military coming and going. My son-in-law was stationed in P-Cola for a couple years, so I have been to your small out of the way town "hitting" the banks. I miss coming down that way twice a year.

First, Congrats on the 21d, I paid $90 for mine three years ago, truly a great
one in a million find
Second, Nalaberong, tell me about the 2000p nickels, I think the mintage is ~860 million,
do you mean the 2000s proof?

Got you!
I'm sorry, I was trying to be confusing on purpose. It's one of the few joys in my life.
The Canadian nickel changed from copper-nickel to multi-ply plated steel (with most other Canadian coins) from 1999-2000. These coins have a "P" composition mark below the Queen to denote their new material. Some are extremely rare - the 1999-P nickel is more like a pattern, and goes for about $30. The 2000-P nickel, however, enjoyed a limited mintage of about 3,000,000 (most 2000 nickels were copper-nickel). It's the second-lowest mintage of a Canadian nickel, coming behind the 1925 (202,000) and ahead of 1970 (5,726,000).
I've found two, one in a $100 box and one in a vending machine on Mount Royal.

When I bought a whole bunch of dimes from a guy I know, there was a 1916P Merc. Anything can happen.

I hope that everyone who posts and awesome find is legit because all it would take is a few trolls or fakers to ruin it for those who really do find great coins in circulation or roll hunting I used to be a nay sayer as well until I found my monster box of halves and my 1892S half in a roll. If you found a 1921D in your register I say congrats as that is one of the last 2 I need for my Mercury dime set.     |

This is a legit find. I'm fully aware that I cannot prove that statement. That being said, my job gives me the opportunity to go through huge amounts of boxed coin. This is not a find from a cash register. Signed, Dime Magnet Is it too late to change my screen name?   |

I didn't purchase anything! I got this one at work for face value! It was in a roll of dimes! Now that is the way to get coins. Face value. Keep on looking. As pointed out, more and more people are digging out jars, cans, boxes, etc. of old coins and just taking to banks. |
