Sap Moderator Australia 16857 Posts	Posted 08/02/2022 10:52 pm The only thing "special" about them, is finding them in circulation in Australia. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 97726 Posts	Posted 08/02/2022 11:57 pm Here in the US, I would not look at them twice. But found in Australia, maybe a few keepers (depending on how often you find US coins down there.) Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn." - Benjamin Franklin 7070 type set coin count: 51/76 Uncirculated American Silver Eagles My American Silver Eagle Proof Collection Sacagawea Dollars Innovation Dollars Eisenhower-Dollars Kennedy-Half Dollars Washington-Quarters Roosevelt-Dimes Buffalo-Nickels 1938-2005 Jefferson-Nickels Lincoln-Cents Report this Post to the Staff

I've found just the one "in the wild", and maybe three or four in the church offering plate. So yeah, assembling a "complete set" of US coins, of any type, is a challenge around here. We do tend to find more than out fair share of US coins, especially Lincolns, in "bulk foreign coin lots". Tourists keep bringing handfuls of them home, and we don't know what to do with the things. Practically nobody around here actually collects them. Dealers who buy bulk world coins will pay extra for kiloware if you've already filtered out and thrown away all the Lincolns. Coincidentally, just today, my brother gave me a nice shiny 2017 Roosevelt dime he found on the footpath. Most of what we get is quite old by the time we get it; I only have one other US coin dated after 2014. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
