Cents found in the till...

Last night I found a '55 and a '56. I gave the 5'6 away to the employee who
could guess the year the closest. The kid guessed '55. I kept the '55 to
look at better.

Today, counting the till at 4:00 found a 1908 small cent. It's in better
shape than the '55! Not a bad holiday weekend, only 2 people called in sick
and I found a cool coin.

Cool finds. The last Inidan cent I ever found in change was back in
the early 1960s when I was just a young lad.

I picked a 1936-D buffalo nickel from the register two days ago. My first
thought was to drop it back into the register (I should have) but then I
decided to pocket the coin. Twelve hours later I found a 1936-D buffalo
nickel on the parking lot that looked exactly like the one I had seen
earlier. Same nickel; found, lost and found again.

Do you think someone threw it away because they thought it was a slug or
foreign coin or something, not a nickel?

Well, my first thought was that the coin had been handed out in change and
the new owner had tossed the nickel for the exact reason you give. However,
I then remembered that I had pocketed the nickel so the only explanation is
that I had pulled the coin out of my pocket when reaching for my car keys.
So, I found it in the register and unknowingly lost it on the parking lot
but refound it before anyone else did.

Do you mind if I lurk around your parking lot for a few days? I'll be
the tall guy with a metal detector and binoculars. ;-)

Sure, the young female employees haven't had a good scare in awhile. As
far as coin finds go, I have found my third 1919 Lincoln cent in the last 4
or 5 days. All are nice looking coins in VG+ to VF. I spotted two coming
out of two different bank rolls and the third was given back to me as part
of my change today from the Dollar General. All are now in my possession so
I know there are three distinct coins.
