Nothing recently, except for wheaties, but I have received a '26 Buffalo nickel before, and when I was a delivery driver, a lady at one of my stops almost gave me a 1$ silver certificate as change, still bothers me she noticed it was different,  and that was 5 years ago, when I was only collecting wheaties I got in change, imagine if I had the bug like I do now, my head probably would have exploded, and ruined the certificate  |

Its called a poor mans double die because its not a full blown '55DD like this.  The real thing sells for $1000 in Fine. Poor man? Maybe $4-$5 if your lucky. |

something interesting, a dominican republic 1/2 dollar with 3 faces on obverse...my nephew gave it to me, I guess his mom got it at the bank when she was cashing her check and the teller obviously wanted to get rid of it...it will make a good addition to the foreign coin collection!

That's a pretty good find there CoinBoy! It's even copper and a "Wheatie" too! Good for you!

hmmm, lots of stuff this week. 1942-D wheatie in VF, 1920 Wheatie in F, 1944 Wheatie in VG, and one of those hollowed out magic coins w/ an english penny on one side, and a JFK half dollar on the other in a half dollar roll.

the coin roll attack continues... ok, searching pennies will probably never result in any long term wealth, but who cares. its fun! here is my penny finds from this past weekend: 56D 56 (this one is in strangely amazing condition...) x3 54 53D x2 52d 51d 48 46 x2 45 44 43 (steel! so cool.) 41 36d 36 35 34 x3 29 x5 26 25 20 19 18 and its not major but strange to find in rolls...x3 1909!!! I was pumped. needless to say, I buy a lot of rolls of pennies. however, one roll had 8 wheats in it, and 3 of them were the 1909...wierd. nickels: 1943P and 1945S War Nickels, silver. canadian: 1977, 87, 2001 nickels 1960, 72, 73, x3 87, 91, 04 pennies. about $60 worth of coin to get this from 2 different banks. I think I found that the one small town bank I go to is producing all these great finds. also, the coin rolls that are sealed on both ends (by a machine?) seem to have better stuff because perhaps they arent hand rolled and cant be cherry picked before wrapping? am I right? |

Wow!, thekurt, that must have required a lot of searching time!! My wife and I looked through about $170 worth of nickels, dimes, quarters, and other stuff last night, and sorry to say found very little. We usually just briefly scan the cents, and then hoard them. One thing we did find which was encouraging was 10 Sacagaweas and five SBA's. Since they came from circulation, it means at least a few people are using them for transactions. Also found six JFK's.  |
