Hmmm, seems we have made the coin gods angry.
We must appease them so we get first dibs.

Today: 1945-P Wartime Nickel (VG), 1960-D Small Date Cent (XF), two 1975-D Cents (BU Red), 2008 Philadelphia Cent (BU - the first 2008 Philly Cent I've noticed here in Denver!), and...three 2009-D Log Cabin Cents, two BU and one which was down to a low AU grade ( not damaged, just circulation wear). Every Log Cabin I've found up until now has been BU, so it's a surprise to see one that's had some circulation wear! Each of those three Log Cabins I got today were traded to employees who wanted one and didn't have one yet.  The employee that I traded one of the BU LC Cents that I found today was surprised to see the low-AU LC Cent. Quote from him: "Those are $10 a roll on ebay, how could one of those stay in circulation that long?!" I said: "That's nothing, I heard that someone in Texas picked up a Log Cabin Cent off the ground!"

Just recently I found a 1945-D Cent that was left behind. The person got 7 cents back in change, and just left it on the counter, I saw one was a wheatie and snagged it :)
Also, a few weeks ago my roommate found at work a 1919-D cent, which he gave to me.

Everything's topsy-turvy when people are trading copper Wheat Cents for zinc Log Cabin Cents, since after all the 'wheaties' are currently a lot easier to find in circulation....   "Hey, look, I have a 1926-D Wheat cent! Maybe 'DNA' will trade me for that 2009-D Log Cabin Cent he just got..."

Got 2 rolls of String and Sons, 2009-P (Heads showing on all ends) from the Credit Union at the Federal Reserve of Chicago. 3 very deep gouges in the Obverse of one, the other 3 obverses are very spotted. I'm traveling, so I'll wait until I get home to open them.
