Interesting Find From Circulation

Bermuda 5c Queen angel fish - Thats a low mintage year coin only 700,000

Did my bi-monthly sorting of the change jar today, rolled 8 rolls of quarters, 3 rolls of dimes, 2 rolls of nickels and 2 rolls of cents.

This week's finds : 1941 nickel, 1950D nickel, very first 2014D nickel (live on east coast), 2 1959D cents and 1961 quarter. Been going through the change jar with the kids for about 2 1/2 years now, that is the first ever silver quarter we have found. After 2 1/2 years and on average 4-6 rolls per month, STILL looking for that ever elusive 2009 nickel.

When I was working at the gas station, I never found a Mercury dime. I found wheat pennies, steel pennies, Indian head pennies, War Nickels, Buffalo nickels, V nickels, silver Roosevelt dimes, silver Washington quarters, 40% halves, Franklin halves, Ikes, many foreign coins, and so on, but no Mercury dimes. Congratulations.

A few days ago I was at the Cruise Terminal in Barbados. I paid for some goods in US$ and got a quarter, two dimes and a new-looking nickel in change. I was delighted to discover the nickel was a 2009-P!

I've found at least 30 2009-D nickels, so they can't be that uncommon.

There is a small convenience store in the apartment complex I used to live in. I got to know the owner while I lived there, and he stuck back any coin larger than a quarter that he received for me. I got lucky and got a 40% Kennedy (1968) one day and I got an Ike but it was mostly post-1970 halves that he stuck back for me. Today I was visiting my friend who still lives in that complex and walked to the store to buy a Coke. The owner wasn't there, instead a woman was working there. I heard her talking to another lady behind the counter and it was obvious her English wasn't very good. She rang up my Coke and I asked her if she had any "big coins" and she said "yes". I thought she just didn't understand me at first. I was thinking maybe she had a clad Kennedy or possibly an Ike if I was lucky. She pulled out a large coin and my heart started racing. I thought it was an Ike (which would have still made me happy) but my jaw hit the floor when I saw that it was an 1884-O Morgan! I said "I want it!" and gave her 4 quarters for it. It is obviously nowhere near AU condition but has a tad bit of yellowish toning. This beats any of the finds I made at my old job at the convenience store by a long shot. I'm still in shock but I'm buzzing. I'm guessing it's VF or XF, what do you think? Is it worth from $30-$40? This was the find of a lifetime.

Thanks Kenny! I'm still in awe. I had several strange dreams last night, so when I woke up I had to look to see if the Morgan really was there. This proves that there are still gems out there. I wish I had better pictures that showed the toning.

In today's change, a 1941 Canadian Cent
