I found all three of these coins in my change in the last week. I guess the coin gods decided to smile upon me.  1939 Jefferson nickel, 1943-P Jefferson War Nickel, and a 1918 Wheat cent.  Reverses wont load for some reason.  |

Sounds like an ongoing thread: Pocket Finds!
Indeed - a good week. I would have been quite happy with any one of them.

Cool finds. Always fun finding coins over 70 years old in change!

I LOVE threads like these, 3 collectible and old coins safe from the uncertainty and danger of circulation. What are you going to do with them   |

This week is good for me too! I found a 1943 quarter in my change from my fiance's Walgreens. Second quarter I have found from there! Also found a 1964 dime there too. |

I'm sticking them in the box where I keep all my "fluff" as I call it. I collect mainly 19th century coins but hey, for 11 cents you can't beat the price!

When I was a teenager (a long time ago) my high school sweetheart worked at the local Dairy Queen and little kids would go rooting through Mom's jewelry box looking for ice cream money and she found me all kinds of stuff.  Here's the reverses by the way. CCF site has been acting funny all day. |

Most people I tell to do that including my sister just cant get it into there head what to save and what shouldn't be in circulation, extremely frustrating.

Wow, that was a great week. I haven't found any decent Jeffs or Wheats in a couple years. Maybe the "coin gods" are telling you to get a Whitman folder and start a circulation Jeff set!  Edited by ratio411

Nice finds! It always makes my day when I get a good find. Usually the first thing I do is show it to my wife. All I get from her is a strange look on her face with a comment of "Yea....and?" Just doesn't get it. |
