The title pretty much says it. I got the idea for this thread after searching through my father's change jar (with permission, of course). Here's what I got: 2 MAD cents, 1985 & 2001-D 1983 cent, die chip in the 8 2009-D cents x2 (Birth & Early Childhood, Formative Years) Lots of Canadian coins No silver No copper cents     Note to Mods- I wasn't really sure which forum this should go in, so feel free to move it. |

Nice! When I was a kid my grandfather would always give me whatever he found in his change, which was usually the occasional wheat or merc. One day, when I'm probably 9 or 10, he came over to my house and handed me a War Nickel he had found, a 1943-P. Later I looked at it under a loupe and what do you know- it's a 3/2! I showed it to a dealer within a few months and he confirmed that it was. If only I knew where it was...  |

That ear detail makes it look more like a F-12 or even F-15. Huh, okay then! Going into the grading I figured it was F details, but CCF gave it G Details on this thread: https://goccf.com/t/233252 |

For thanksgiving, I went up to Bellingham (a small city near the Canadian border) to visit my family. My grandmother hosts it every year, and while I was there, I got permission to search through a small jar of change. There was nothing picture-worthy, but I got a wheatie (1946), two Canadians (1940, 1970) and a handful of copper Lincolns. I also got permission to search through my grandfather's HUGE bowl of cents next time I'm at his house (he gives them out to kids on Halloween). When I arrived in Bellingham, at Squalicum Marina, they had a change machine by the marina office. I fed the machine $11 and searched through the quarters later. I wasn't getting anything, but then I picked up the very last coin and this is what I got:    I put in another $7 the next day, but with no luck. |

A rough looking proof, but still a nice find.  |

One of my good friends owed another friend $35 and paid him with a ziploc bag of change today. Taking out the toonies and loonies, I got approximately $20 to look through. Not sure if it came from a jar but it counts. Here is a breakdown. 5 pennies - 2009, 1961  . American: 2012, 1984D, 1979D 38 nickels - 4 nickel (10.5%), 3 cupronickel (7.9%) 50 dimes - 10 nickel (20%). American: 2006D 53 quarters - 5 nickel (9.4%). American: 1985P and a nice 1969D |

I say it counts.
I forgot to mention there were two more '09-Ds in the last jar I searched. I think a number of the coins were taken off the ground, since there were quite a few roadkill coins in there.
Shoeplier, I wasn't aware that there were so few nickel and even cupronickel coins still circulating.
