And if anyone else loves finding proofs in pocket change always brightens my day Edited by Decaf94drew 09/01/2021 02:22 am Report this Post to the Staff

Bumpkin Pillar of the Community United States 509 Posts	Posted 09/01/2021 03:01 am Nice Proof find in pocket change. I'm guessing maybe around 8 degrees + or - of rotation based off of your pics. I love finding Proofs in the wild. As minor as this is, I don't think it would bring a premium. But still a nice example. Report this Post to the Staff

CoinHunter4 Pillar of the Community United States 1086 Posts	Posted 09/01/2021 1:19 pm Nice job finding a proof in pocket change! I haven't been able to do that yet, although I have pulled a couple of silver dimes over time, and a war nickel+2020-W quarter in the same change! Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 96581 Posts	Posted 09/01/2021 9:17 pm Great find there. You should flatten out those staples so you won't scratch other coins if you stack the 2x2's Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.
