The best coin you found in circulation?
I liked reading the replies to the thread about your lowest mintage coins,
so I thought I'd start a similar one. What is the best coin you've found in circulation, including roll searches? Mine is and 1864 1c in EF found in a roll search years ago. I think it's the copper-nickel variety, though not positive. -Gary |

Just the other day, an employee told me that she keeps fogetting to bring me an 1819 US large cent she was given in change when at a Dollar General store in a very small northeastern Oklahoma community.

The best was probably a whole roll of BU gem+ 2003 Lincolns, a whole roll of BU '83P Kennedy halves or a whole roll of BU gem+ '99D Roosevelts. I also have partial tubes of all denominations of nothing but gem BU coins found in bank rolls or in change on top of the usual wheat cent hoard. Have an old whiskey jar about half full of BU red Lincolns found in roll searches and made up a complete BU set from 1957 to now with some RPM's included. Found a '39D Jefferson VF last month. Found a 1917 roll of circulated wheats a few months back. |

I think it's the copper-nickel variety, though not positive. -Gary I have said this before but to the best of my knowledge, I have never found a key coin, semi-key coin or a semi semi key coin in circulation. I have never found a recognized variety either though I found one dime that looked a bit like a die clash and gave it away. I never was sure. Now way back in the 60's as a small child I pulled Walkers, Mercs, Franklins, a Peace dollar or two, Buffs and many wheat cents from my parents change and the local grocer's till. Not counting that I would have to say the best find I have gotten in change would be a common Silver Washington Quarter or Roosevelt dime. Best find from a bank would be a 64 Kennedy. Best find from a small hoard I bought by the pound was a Zinc Austrian coin over-struck from a zinc Nazi coin. Traded that coin to a semi-nationally recognized coin dealer (who will remain nameless) for several hundred dollars of his inventory I actually wanted. Dale I rarely do any searches anymore but occasionally will get some rolls from the bank. Too disappointing..... |
