TheForce Pillar of the Community United States 4870 Posts	Posted 02/21/2005 11:41 pm Since I am in a period where I don't feel like buying any coins, I am now enjoying getting old coins from pocket change. Like today I got a worn down 1940-D nickel. It's not really much but it's neat to still be able to find older coins this way. I think there is something to be said actually finding coins and going through rolls rather than just buying the coin. I think it's the thrill and excitement of the hunt.

bobby131313 Forum Dad United States 24167 Posts	Posted 02/22/2005 12:06 am Yeah, that is pretty cool. A couple of months ago we got a proof dime in change at the Wawa. I keep wondering if some kid got his butt kicked for raiding his parents proof sets to buy a pack of smokes. [:0] Shop CCF Members on eBay. Report this Post to the Staff

catman Rest in Peace United States 954 Posts	Posted 02/23/2005 01:41 am When I was a kid the nearst coin store was 700 miles away. Each each year they had a coin show that was 120 miles away. Most of us kids found our collections going through coins at the bank and the cornor grocery store. We would ask our grandfather & grandmother if they had any any. Most had a little box of stuff. It was always a great thrill to find a Buffalo nickel or Indian Head penny. Keep at it nds76. You will learn a lot about coins this way. catman Report this Post to the Staff

national dealer Pillar of the Community United States 2724 Posts	Posted 02/23/2005 06:58 am Spending a snowed in weekend searching coins is probably the best thing any collector can do. You can search for errors, varieties, and can even practice the grading skills. The best part is that you may return any of the coins not wanted. So you can basically have a fun filled weekend searching through thousands of coins for FREE. Some of my best finds: 1895-P Barber dime in AG 1902-S Barber quarter in Good 1854 w/arrows seated half (returned to owner) name on roll 1903-P Indian cent in VG 1941-P Mercury dime in VG 1932-P Washington quarter in Good Edited by national dealer 02/23/2005 06:58 am Report this Post to the Staff
Kyra Pillar of the Community United States 867 Posts	Posted 02/23/2005 7:58 pm My best find is probably still the 1910-S Wheat cent. That's the closest I have found to a "key" date of any series. There was also the Seated Liberty dime (returned to owner- he uses it as his golf marker!!! ), the 1923 Peace dollar, the Canadian large cents, the eight Indian Head cents... I could go on but I'd have to dig the box out again. Rachel [:p] Report this Post to the Staff

Kyra Pillar of the Community United States 867 Posts	Posted 02/24/2005 7:23 pm Well, the junk silver and foreign coins are- the good stuff is stored in albums! Don't worry, I wouldn't do that to my Morgans or Cats! (Still working on those pictures, BTW) Rachel [:p] Report this Post to the Staff
