Good philosophy, Bigfredd. Had many exciting finds today. First I saw my first proof coin ever in the wild, it came a heartbeat from entering circulation. I was handed a 2009-S American Samoa quarter. It was an impaired proof shiny but still had lots of residue on the reverse. It was in my drawer, but the guy asked for it back because he didn't have that one yet. I immediately just thought it was a brand new American Samoa quarter. Since he put it back in his wallet, I asked if I could see that quarter again. I informed him it was a proof quarter not intended for circulation and advised him not to spend it. The other people checking out at the next register waited around to hear the story behind that! On a smaller note, I found a 1968-S, 1947-D & 1956-D. As well, a 1940 nickel.

I also acquired a 1940 nickel late last week too that I didn't originally mention just because so many are still out there, but realized it was in good shape compared to most of the circulating 1940 ones. The Monticello details are still rather sharp and looks like a Nickel from the mid 1980s when looking at the Monticello!

Today: silver-plated (or "platinum"?) Iowa-P Quarter. I just love looking at the shiny silver rim, even though it's phony  Not to worry, JangoFett, I kept the $10 note! Hey, it's a 1977 and five 9's in a row. What are the odds of getting such a note as your change in the year 2011?  Edited by DNA

DNA has a point.....I think it is a keeper. Not only the numbers which I did not even look at, but it is over 30 years old! The average lifespan of paper money is 18 months, so it has weathered the odds. It can not be worth less and you got it for face, so in cases like that I keep them, and ten years from now, who knows? It would be a cheap surprise, and how many coins/bills today can you get for face?
