Last night got a 1956d Wheat penny, some nickels from the 1960's and some new face nickels, but nothing much overall. |

A fantastic find here, I thnk, in a roll of Kennedy halfs. I am not familiar with the portrait image, but the writing on the observe is
EDWARDVS Vll DEI GRA:BRIT: OMN: REX FID DEF- can't read the rest. On the reverse it's 1905 ONE PENNY with a Roman figure wearing a helmet and sitting on some kind of pedestal. Also holding a sort of pitch fork in her left hand. Is that COOL OR WHAT!!

An English Penny. The seated figure is Britannia. Edward VII King of Britain, Defender of the faith. Gotta be strange to find a ciopper amongst silver. |

It's not copper though. I don't know what metal it is but the color is silver. |

It should definitely be copper, so someone may have painted or electroplated it to pass it off as a silver half dollar in the U.S. and it obviously worked, it even got past the bank tellers. Steve  |

Interesting.
Didn't know they couldn't "see" the odd one.
Do you have pictures?
thanks!

I rescued almost $2 worth of wheat cents from circulation today- just doing my good deed for the day! I was bagging up some more loose coin when I started seeing a bunch of wheat cents. I stopped the coin machine and unloaded the cents, then spent the better part of the morning sorting through them. The boss was gone, so it was OK!  Most of them were in the 40's, including a lot of 1944's, but there was a 1917, 1924, 1925, 1927, and a few from 1937 and 1939. There were also two I couldn't read the whole date on, a 191? and a 192?. Not bad for a morning's work!  And before anyone wonders, I gave them all to Dad! Rachel [:p] |

Kansas Statehood Quarter. P mint mark. First Philadelphia mint mark on a Kansas quarter that I've seen. We usually don't get P mint marks out west. |

I got a 1999 Last Anzac "M" mintmark out of a pokie machine. They're not particularly rare, but it makes you wonder who in theirright mind would have spend a $30 coin in a pokie. Probably stolen by the brain dead.  |

The best circulated finds I know of go to my mom and a guy that works for me. My mom got back in change a 1916-D in XF and a 1937-D 3 legged VG. The guy that works for me went to Jewel-Osco about a month ago bought a small item and paid with a 50. he got back all silver certificates. As for me, nothing but junk.
