I picked up 5 2008 P Alaska Quarter fresh from the roll. Check out the bugger sticking out of the nose.

Just got lucky yesterday at the bank and got 24 IKE's. Also got a roll of 2008P BU nickels. Now I can fill my Dansco album spot. Don't get many BU P's where I am.

I got a 1941 Wheat cent in change from a local restaurant. Not really valuable but I haven't found a wheatie in circulation in years. However, I average about 15 wheats from bank boxes.

Today: 1951-D Wheatie laying on the floor (obverse up) next to a soda vending machine at the grocery store!

A total of 5 Wheaties received in my change in the month of February, the oldest was 1944.

I bought $20 in Brinks-wrapped nickels this morning and found almost nothing of interest... except for this

Interesting-Find-From-Circulation

Surprised the heck out of me! Think I'm going to try the vinegar soak with it.

Harrison Dollar.

New, but has a blueish color. Color real different from other Dollars.

Received from a grocery store.

1988 D Lincoln, BU, with fingerprint unfortunately.

On one side of the coin, the rim is sharply defined, and on the other side there is almost no rim.

Some sort of a mistrike?

I just had a real thrill, but it didn't last long.

Cleaning out a dresser drawer, I found a Mercury dime. No idea where it came from.

It was maybe AG, and had cut marks on it. Also, an interesting date --1916!

Unfortunately, I couldn't find a mint mark.

I found a series 1950 $10 bill a month or two ago. It looks almost brand new so I assume someone just kept it in a drawer for the past 60 years and finally spent it.

A 1969-D Kennedy half

I was at work and a girl was paid with two half-dollars. I went over to her change cup and picked them out. Low and behold one of them was a %40'er. My first silver kennedy find from circulation.
