1911 s
1911 d
1907 Indian head
German reichspfinneg (from ww2 era)

Ps... Check the new "avatar".

My father found a 1914-D
After he jumped around and hollered for 10 min I came clean: I seeded it in that roll to watch his reaction.
One of my best pranks to date.
I let him keep it and th PCGS slab it was cracked from BTW so he was still quite pleased.

I found a zinc mint token from a Denver mint set a few months back.
Not mine, just a picture of what I found. My camera sucks.
