Today: VG 1944-P War Nickel, BU 2009 LP-4 Cent, XF 1944-D Wheat cent. I've had some great finds in change on Sundays....  Does this mean that collectible coins are mostly spent on Saturdays?  |

Three Canadian coins in the last week -- two pennies and a nickel.

Went to the bank for a deposit this morning and ask the teller if anyone interesting had brought in any change lately and she said the school had sold some change they had taken out of the soda machines.
Bought $22.00 Nickels and $50.00 dimes
The very first dime came out of a roll was a 1964 Roosevelt
NOTHING ELSE
Went through the nickels and BINGO
1-1939
1-1940
1-1941
1-1943S
1-1945D
Some days you can't find anything

I picked this 1983 cent in change a little bit ago. It is a 3 gram bronze planchet, not a 2.5 gram zinc. I found it only by the type of noise it made when I emptied my change on the dresser. According the the US mint They minted the centesimo for some inland country (lost my notes) It was a 3.0 gram Bronze planchet. This thing is a harder metal then copper it has not one PMD on it. |

Awesome find! The coin should be worth between fifty and a few hundred dollars. Get it certified if it is in halfway decent shape. Sincerely, John Leckrone |

 Never give up at looking at your change. Coming home from church today I received this coin plus a beat up 1942 Mercury dime in change. I think I will keep this one. The power of prayer.   |

Someone spends boatloads of Kennedy half dollars at are local general mart, and the clerk there is more than willing to trade all of them in to me at face value for cash. Out of exchanging for approximately $120 face value over the course of several months, I've managed to secure 5 90% kennedys and nearly 20 40% kennedys at face. |

My wife went to NYC last weekend and brought back two Presidential dollars (Madison and Polk). Not that exciting, I know, but we never see them circulating down here.  |

It wasn't technically from circulation, but it WAS in a 'junk nickel lot', so I think this might slightly qualify:  |
