And with another week down, my totals fall into this. Monday, was SUPPOSED to be off, but I got called in, left with 2 wheats and 5 Canadian pennies. Tuesday, better than Monday, got a wheat, a dateless Buffalo nickel, a 42-D Mercury dime, a silver-plated quarter, a Canadian pennies and a 74-S cent. Wednesday, 2 wheats, 2 Canadian pennies, 2 Canadian dimes and a 70-S nickel. Thursday, my favorite day of the week by far, 53-S Rosie, 64-D Washington and a clad proof State Quarter. Friday, also good, 7 wheats, a 43-P War Nickel, 2 Canadian pennies and a Trinidad and Tobago 1 cent coin. And Saturday, worst of the week as far as my collection goes, a single wheat and a pair of S-mint nickels (54-S, 70-S)

Nice patina on that '46. I like nickels up until they changed the obverse to the creepy view of Jefferson staring at you with that Charles Manson glazed-over look. However, I only collect '60s and older unless they are AU or better.

Quote: Nice patina on that '46. Thanks. I think it is a nice pull. I reminded my better half that it was older than her parents. It is going in the hoard box for my son to find one day.

**jbuck- that's funny, my wife found a 1946 nickel right around when yours did.. Lol. I've been slacking a bit on posting recent finds.... And as I've mentioned before I still find wheats weekly just in change, but this one (1947) was in great condition compared to the norm (the norm being the 1945 I got back with it, lol) and both nickels (1940 & 1946) were received on the same day but I got the '40, and my wife the '46... And the Dryer Coin was found the same day as well, but in a reject coinstar tray, not a bad days haul, lol.

Tonight at work I found several interesting pennies. I found one old Lincoln Memorial cent (1960-D), six wheats (1920, 1938, 1944-D, 1947-D, 1952-D, and 1958-D) and a 1900 Indian Head penny. This is the second Native American cent that I've found in my life in circulation, and the second one I've found in 2014. This was a heck of a find.

A few days late, but more finds for the week of 4-21 to 4-27. Monday 4-21, a Wheat cent, a silver War Nickel and Canadian nickel. And the one that really messed with me, I opened a CWR of quarters that was used to pay for gas, and thought I'd struck silver... But it was just a silver plated quarter  Wednesday 4-23, a silver War Nickel, a silver quarter, 2 Canadian pennies, 2 Canadian nickels and a Canadian dime. Thursday 4-24, a Canadian penny and a Canadian quarter. Saturday 4-26, 2 wheat cents, 2 silver dimes(in one shift!), a Canadian dime and a Canadian quarter. And Sunday 4-27, a single Canadian penny.

Yesterday at work I was about 2 hours from the end of my shift lamenting that I had only found a couple of "wood" pennies and some bicentennial quarters when a customer came in and spent about 20 dimes. I saw a dull looking dime in his hand and thought that it was just a late '60s dime, but the more I looked at it I realized it was silver. When I got it, I noticed that it was a 1964-D. I've found at least 35 silver dimes in the last year.

And another week goes by, more finds too of course. 4-28 to 5-4 Monday: A wheat, 4 Canadian pennies, a Canadian nickel and a Canadian dime. Wednesday: A wheat and a War Nickel. Thursday: 5 wheats, a Canadian penny, a Canadian quarter and a worn series 1963 $5 United States Note. Friday: 3 wheats, a War Nickel, a silver Rosie, 2 Canadian pennies and 2 Canadian quarters. Saturday: A single stamped quarter, pretty oddly done, it read "BE THE CHANGE" and had a hole drilled like it was worn as a medallion.

Yeahaw!! Great day today! Three Mercs all from the same store at the same time... It's been a couple months since I've received a silver dime so this made my day! All average circulated late dates, but that's just fine by me... There's no such thing as too much silver... But you all know that! 1943, 1945 & 1945-D I took pics but for some reason the optimizer isn't working for me today  it randomly does this... I load the image, resize it.. Download it to my phone and then try to upload it and it still says too big. I don't get it, I'm doing everything exactly the same as I always do, but randomly it does this and won't work... Often actually. I've passed on posting uber pics because it never allows me to upload... Well at least 50/50 it doesn't.. And of course they're the ones I really want to share, lol, usually it works for the ones I don't care to show as much (like these) but today it won't even work for these!! Lol... And I thought I was having a lucky day.

Newbie here :) just joined the other day so forgive me if I have bad forum etiquette. I checked my wallet today and I found 2 nickels older than 1964 - one 1940 and the other 1957...which surprised me, I didn't think a coin that old would be in my random change. I wish I worked a job with a cash drawer like a lot of you guys seem to, I bet I gave up a lot of awesome coins when I waitressed in college -(darn) anywhozzle,now going home to check the vacation coin jar lol Is there a site to help quickly identify valuable pocket change? I have a Red Book, but I'm so new at this I need all the help I can get LOL

Monday: 1945-P War Nickel, 1982 Canadian penny, 1979 Canadian dime and 1983 Canadian quarter. Tuesday: 2 Wheats; 1929, 1946. A 1968-D 40% silver half and a 1979 Canadian quarter Wednesday: 1971-S cent, 1951 Canadian penny, 1996 Canadian nickel, 2012 Canadian quarter, United Arab Emirtes 1 Dihram, a Cincinnati parking token (somehow made its way into the quarters of my manager's drawer, despite being larger than a gold dollar). And, likely a good luck token that someone dropped from their wallet, but a cross-shaped cutout from a zinc LMC. Thursday: A 1968-S nickel, 1985 Canadan nickel, 1984 Canadian quarter and a 1977 Bahamas 25 cent piece. Sunday gave me a rather large pile, store had started using a new box while I was off for two days, so all three machines were packed with unsearched pennies to go through. 6 wheats; 42, 44-D, 51, 54-D, 56 and 57-D. A 1938 nickel, don't get many of those out here. And 8 Canadian pennies; 1975, 1979, 1984, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1994 and 2000. And, a bit out of sequence, but what I'm almost positive is an abused 1962 proof cent.
