Report your finds. Add details if you like. Silver, wheats, proofs - whatever you want to tell us about.

This is for pocket change finds only, not searched rolls, special requests ("hey, can I buy all the pennies from your drawer?"), or anything other than what you receive in the course of commerce or find on the ground, etc.

Counting starts today, September 21st 2010 and runs indefinitely.

From my favorite gas station....

A worn 1963 dollar bill. The date caught my eye for some reason. I thought this was a neat find.

My friend got back change at the CU when he cashed his check, he gets in his car and throws it into the cup holder. So I reach down and what do I find? A 1943 S War nickel. I also found a 1970 proof nickel going through the change at his house lol.

Two other nickel finds to report. NOT FOUND SEARCHING ROLLS.

My mother-in-law got a 2009 nickel back in change from the shopping Mr. PTP did for her at Wal-mart. She had me check her change for any goodies before she put it in her change jar and she let me have it to put in the kids' anniversary coin jar.

I also found a 1961 Proof nickel that I had received in change from my recent shopping. This coin was also an upgrade coin for my nickel album.
