Quote: I finally got a find at work better than a common Wheat cent or older nickel: a BU 1958 nickel! I heard they're the 4th lowest mintage for Philadelphia and it'll probably be worth something eventually! Very nice!  |

Out of respect for Gary Burke, I will decline that suggestion.  |

Sorry, I didn't realize this was his thread. I agree with your decision.

Anout 45 years ago I found a 1912-S Lincoln in Fine condition and many other early semi-keys plus I have found/saved well over 10.000 Wheaties in various conditions including this bag full that I haven't gone through in over 35 years .... I see many AU and coins with luster but when I started in 1962 they had just flipped from wheat to memorial cents 3-4 years earlier .... Then came the switch from silver in 1965!  |

Impressive stash. Do you plan on looking through them?

Found this in my return change from my local Tractor Supply. I asked her if she had any more in her register but that was it.  |

I worked a different register at work today and found a 1946 dime! I'm not even sure if it came from the same customer I mentioned on Thursday, but good thing I worked this weekend (only weekend shift I have is once every 2 Sundays) or else it would've been given to a customer for change!

Yesterday I was standing by a vending machine when out of the blue it spit out a dollar in quarters. One of those was a nicely circulated 2000-P MA, probably around VF with a nice circulation cameo. It's not often you find such heavily circulated coins nowadays.

Believe me, it's REALLY easy to find a heavily circulated coin. I've found modern coins that are seriously messed up, like being all dirty or having weird stuff on them, and even today, I found a 1967 penny and a 2015 penny right next to each other at school. Guess which one was in better condition?

Yes, but I'm just saying I don't often see Statehood Quarters that have circulated so much. |

My partner surprised me with those two coins today. While Luxembourg is far from common, the real shocker is the San Marino 2006 2 euro cent.    Edited by Dagaz
