PROOF tracking - all coins except halves

Postby uthminsta » Thu Sep 23, 2010 11:45 pm

Find a proof coin in circulation? Post about it here! We're following finds of all denominations (besides halves - see below) here in one thread. So tell us what you've found - and PICS would be great, too, so we have "proof." Haha...
A quick note though: while the S mint mark generally means a proof strike, the following S-mint coins were minted for general circulation, and are most likely NOT proofs: 1968-1974 cents, 1968-1970 nickels, 1979-1981 dollars.

1 2005 S dime, found roll searching. It still has a high luster

i found a 73s in the last 100.00 sorted. and yes i know, that most are ciruclated. this one stuck out like a hammer struck thumb due to its 'mirror finish'.


oops, that is a penny . guess i thought you would know that . lol.

Got a 1970s Nickle from the gas station today.
It stood out and screamed look at me when I glanced at my handful of change.

Proof cent #2 for me!

A sparkling 1986-s.

I find this very odd...I've hand sorted thousands of pennies and to get '2' within a couple of weeks of each other. I figured more hand sorters would be finding them too!

Im not the one who found them, but years ago when I was a kid I got 20 plus dollars in proof dimes. all of them silver in the 60s, a few different years. This was when silver was 3-4 bucks. I worked on a farm, and was being paid for beans I picked. She gave me 3 of them at first. And I told her it was silver, and asked her if there were more. She had gotten 5 rolls of them, in payment a few days before, but have given a few out in change. She willingly gave me the rest instead of bills. I still have most of them.
