Interesting Finds From Circulation

[Triggersmob]

That would be great, Gary.
We haven't traded for a while and my USA coins are slipping behind.
I will start putting some coins aside for you.

Found my first 50c in the till at work, today.



and also my second 20c.
Still no 5c or 10c.
Lots of $1 and $2 though.

Joe, I just happen to have one of those coins on my desk in front of me. Seems that it has your name on it.

Today I got a bag of aussie 10 cent coins , only to find 12 US quarters ranging from 1967 to 2001. Not a bad find 1/2 way around the world.

WOW! Nice find.

Today I got a bag of aussie 10 cent coins , only to find 12 US quarters ranging from 1967 to 2001. Not a bad find 1/2 way around the world.

Way to go tiddy, quite a bit of profit too!     

If I had 25¢ for every 10¢ I ever had, I'd almost be rich!

Found an Israel 10 New Agorot.

A little smaller than a U.S. Cent.

Not from circulation, but I did find a small bag of Kennedy Half Dollars last night.

All either AU or BU.  Mainly 1970's and 1990's.

Lots of 1967, 1971, and 1973 coins --our kids' birth years.  Guess I;ll give them to the kids this Christmas.

Presidential Dollars don't circulate much, so I was happy to get a John Tyler in change at WalMart.

Gary the '67 coins are 40% silver. 

[CoinCrusader42]

Only had three 1967s.

1976 Kennedy Bi-Centennial Half Dollar.  AU.

In change from a convenience store.

 

[CoinCrusader42]

1954 Roosevelt Dime.

Really banged up.  No numismatic value.

Found in my pocket.  No idea which store it might have come from.

 

[CoinCrusader42]

1996 - P Kennedy Half Dollar.  B.U.

Real mystery.  Have been getting them from retail stores, convenience stores. and restaurants.

Each is as nice as the day in came from the mint.

Maybe a ploy by the Government to start circulating Half Dollars?

I found a zinc cent and clad dime planchet along with some mystery tokens in a lot of rejected change from a cashiers till. The cent planchet is slightly bent. I'm wondering most about the strange token with a crude regal portrait on it. The edge is scalloped and appears modern, but the design is virtually barbaric. Is this some sort of pirate treasure play money? And is the brass token Vietnam era from Sega in Japan, or from Sunshine Mint.
Thanx for your replies.

Found a 2001 Queensland "Centenary of Federation" 20 cent, in the till at work.

Barely a mark on it, for it's age, I think it would pass as a aUNC.

[Triggersmob]

Found another aUNC 20c in the till at work.
This time a 1976.

Steve, You are a much better "coin finder" than I.

I haven't worked at the hospital gift shop for sever weeks.  Maybe when I get back to volunteering I'll have better luck.

 

[Triggersmob]

I only get to work on the counter at work on a Sunday. During the week I work on the phones.
So on Sunday I go to work half an hour early, just to check all the coins.

When I was buying a bottle of pop for my son, my change came back and I heard an unfamiliar sound in the ringing of the coins as the cashier handed them to me.  I thought, "Oh great a stupid Canadian quarter", but I looked down and saw Washington staring at me - a 1963 quarter - in silver.

[Triggersmob]

Bonus!!

[Triggersmob]

Another nice find in the till at work.

[Nighthawk]

Nice find Steve!

I love those old Shilling coins!   

[EgCollector]

Its amazing that you can find another country coins in your change  and an old one too 

Nice find Steve 

[Triggersmob]

I was happy, as I didn't have this coin and year combination already.
