Interesting Finds From Circulation

John Tyler Dollar, AU.

Interesting because I live in Colorado, and the coin is a Philadelphia mint.

Another day volunteering at the loacal hosapital gift shop.

Pretty disappointing.

None of the new quarters.  None of the new pennies.

I did find

1.  A war nickel
2.  BU Rhode Island Quarter
3.  Half dozen BU 2008 cents
4.  1981 AU Jefferson Nickel
5.  Smooth cent planchet

Gift shop again.

Of all the Statehood Quarters I went through, the most numerous was the first one -- Deleware.

Found one bright and shiny Guam Quarter.

A bright, golden AU 1959-D 1c in change at Wallyworld.....50 yrs old.

1927 LC, barely readable date.

Sort of found in circulation -- in the bottom of a desk drawer while searching for something else.

Slim pickings at the gift shop.

One Guam Quarter.  BU.

Yesterday was my day to work at our hospital gift shop.  During free time I looked through a bunch of quarters.

I found Washington D.C., Puerto Rico, Guam, and Samoa -- all BU.

Of interest, I found many 1999 quarters, especially Delaware, in BU.  Conclusion:  The economy is tough on people, and the saved quarters are being spent.

I am guilty also.  Took about 100 saved quarters and put them in my "vacation bottle" in preparation for a little trek later this month.

You're right C C! I've noticed an large influx of the early state quarters in AU at the least. I never collected them, but am now saving them to give to some of my grandkids.

[CoinCrusader42]

Goose,

Let me know if you have difficulty finding any particular quarters.  I have duplicates of most all of them.

 

[Goose]

Thanks for the offer C C. In about a month I'll begin to sort my state quarters out.....I'm quite busy now, hunting, metal detecting, cleaning out an 80 yr old house that is 500 miles from where I live, and assorted family get togethers.

LINT--PAPER CLIPS--SCREWS--NAILS AND CANDY WRAPPERS---I WAS GLAD I HAD GOTTEN MY TETANIS SHOT---BUT ALL IN ALL IT WAS FASCINATING TO SEE THE VARIATIONS--OF COURSE HE AND HIS BOSS TEND TO HAVE LUCH IN BARS AND GRILLS ALL OVER SO HE HAS A CHANCE OF GETTING ALL KINDS OF COINS

Our 6,100 mile road trip was mainly on the eastern side of the Mississippi.  So, I stocked up on "P" mint coins.

Not only saw the Philly mint, but picked up lots of "P" mints to bring home.

1948 Jeff, and a 1964 QEII Canadian nickel.
