Finally, I got a 2010-D Dime in change today.

Not nearly as high grade as the MS 2008-D that came with it!

I work in a convenience store and you would not believe the stuff people bring in. One day someone brought in a 2004 ASE. (Which I bought for a buck) Another day a lady bought a pack of cigarettes with 5 1921 morgans and 1 1923 peace. I am constantly looking through my drawer for good stuff. It's the only part of my job that keeps me sane.

I bought a 1989 ASE out of a 7-11 cashier's drawer in 1993.
(it's my lucky pocket piece!)

If that isn't a good reason to quit smoking, what is?
Then again, if she'd got even melt value for them, she could have bought a carton (and some dinner!)...

Once upon a time, I thought that if silver ever went above $10/oz,
I'd never find any in circulation anymore.
That was a mistaken assumption!

Last night my wife presented me with my first 2010 Shield Cent from circulation.

I know, nothing spectacular, but it made me happy.

Today: A stunning 2010-D Cent (NO spots on the obverse, one tiny spot
on the reverse) and my second 2010-D Dime (much nicer than the first
one I got, this one's at least a true MS65!)

And that was my 11¢ change from Target!

It is worth noting that I have still not received a
2009-D Dime in my change....

Tuesday I got a 1950-s Jefferson in pretty good shape. Last week I got a 1964 quarter. Sure not many of those around in circulation anymore.

You know you're a coin collector when you get these two Nickels in your change...

...and you're more excited about getting the 2009-D than the War Nickel!


This is my first 2009-D business strike Nickel!

As you may have guessed, that 1943-S is not even close to being the
first War Nickel I've found in change, and is also not even close to
being the first 1943-S Nickel that I've found in change.
That said, all 1943-S and other War Nickels are most welcome guests at
the DNA household.

Yesterday I was going through a small pile of change and found a 1964 dime, 1946 and 1956 wheaties, 4 pre-1964 nickels, a 1969 Candadian cent and 15 high grade shield cents. I was very excited!

Got another 2009-D Nickel and 2010-D Dime today, so I guess those
coins are finally getting out of the Denver Fed Branch!

(the 2009-D business strike Dime continues to elude me,
at least from being found in actual circulation...)
