Found this 1933 Candian cent a couple of days ago while searching through some US cent rolls.

Finished sorting a box of pennies and a box of nickels. Found this Buffalo.

Nothing special, just nice to find a wheat that still has some red.

I find more old Jefferson nickels than any other coin. Jefferson nickels from the 40's thru 60's, especially the 1964. Rarely, do I find a wheatie. The oldest quarters I see are from the 60's. I don't bother with dimes because they are just too small to read. I never find halves.

With penny roll searching seems to be completely random. Bought 2 boxes last weekend 1 box contained 1 IHC 10 wheats and 6 canadians the other 2 wheats 3 canadian. Never more than one in a roll so probably not someone getting rid of collection why aren't they more evenly spread out? Since it is random I would think they would be but I'm not going to argue with those results.

I'm now a manager at the store I work at instead of a carhop, so I see a lot less change nowadays.

But the other day a fellow employee had a roll of nickels bound up in masking tape. I immediately thought "senior citizen getting rid of old change" so I bought the roll from her. All the nickels were fairly new actually, except one no date buffalo. So I do consider that my first wild buffalo.

While filling the safe at work, I tend to check the quarter rolls and found a 1964 and 1954-D in one box. Plus, a 2008 Canadian.

A clerk I know said she received two Jackson Dollars today.

So, the coin is circulating a little bit.

I work at a fast food job where the employees serving the food act as their own register. They carry little devices known as "coin changers" that carry easily dispensible quarters/dimes/nickels/cents in metal tubes. The tubes have slots on the side to view the coins. We have about seven changers. I was looking at the reeds of the quarters and dimes to see if I can find any silver.

1953 roosie
1964 roosie
1964 quarter

An amazing circulation silver find. Honestly amazing.

Received a 1957-D cent in near-AU condition in change from a Kwik-Shop today. Eaglefoot - you been digging into your Whitman albums to pay for gas lately?

While I was picking up my box of halves I was eyeing the teller's coin tray and saw that tell tale silver band 5 coins from the top in the dimes. I asked to see it and it was a '46. A little scruffy but she swapped me a clad for it.

Everyday I throw my change into a basket, then I periodically go though it all to look for coins of interest. I dunno how in the world I got this coin, it's about the size a quarter....but it was in my basket. LOL
