I have been getting a lot of older and harder year coins back in pocket change recently, a whole lot less of the newer stuff. Everytime I get change I'm looking through almost all of them cause I've been getting a lot of older coins. Is it just me or has anyone else experienced the same? I'm in georgia

I have not. If anything, the opposite. My main yardsticks are War Nickels (I have not gotten one in the last 6 months) and wheat cents (I am sure I have not gotten one from before 1950). |

The most exciting one so far was a 1950 D nickel, it's in rough shape but I was pretty stoked to get it in change, I actually got a 1946s Wheat penny today also, I'll post pics when I get a chance |

I never get change of any kind. I use plastic so much lately I'm not sure how to use cash anymore.

Any change I have received recently has been boring, well-worn modern stuff (with the exception of 2020, of which I have received 2 quarters and a couple of cents). For example, rotting 2013 Zincolns, the non-Lewis-and-Clark nickels from the 2000's, nearly-slick 80's quarters... bleah. I feel like I'm getting shopping mall fountain dumps.

I received a 1952 Roosevelt dime in change at the nearby McDonalds drive thru this past Friday. Snagged a 1912 Canadian dime in change at the same drive through this past past year. It was in XF/AU condition so that was an extra bonus. |

Just yesterday I got a 59 dime, and an 88 S proof quarter in change. Has anyone ever got a proof in change before? Was a first for me

Dakota0404- yes, I've found proofs in change. someone gave me a baggie of change yesterday. I was told it (the money) was for my street kitties. so I searched it, counted it & wrapped it up, took the rolls to circle k & they bought all of it from me. there was $30+ in the baggie, and the only interesting thing I found was a 2015-P homestead quarter with a bit of doubled die evidence in the bottom of window pane L2, which I haven't yet tried to get a pic of. yes, another homestead quarter with DDR has found me.... will post pix eventually.. and yes, I bought $30 worth of cat foods late last night. |
