I think it's some kind of advertising token.

I was quite surprised to find another William Harrison Dollar in circulation yesterday.

Would be neat if they were really starting to circulate,

Had a Belgian 1 Euro from 1999, and a Slovenian 50 Eurocents from 2007 in my leftover Vienna change, other than that everything was Italian, Spanish, German or Austrian.

My first Washington D.C. Quarter, and a 1940 Jefferson nickel.

Change from a convenience store.

Interesting coin found in pocket change today.

1988 D Lincoln Cent, BU.

Fingerprint unfortunately.

One rim is sharply defined while on the other edge, the rim can barely be seen.

I guss this would be considered an error.  Any ideas what caused it?

Got a 1941 Canadian cent in change yesterday; which was strange enough. But then last week I got a 1961 Red Unc Canadian cent as a complimentary piece from an exonumia dealer after I bought an encased Alaska quarter.

A CoinStar reject tray find:



Check out that sweet 1921 Lincoln, and I think I need him for my Whitman, so a nice find every which way.

The CoinStar reject tray has had something for me each time I have used the machine.

Evidentally no one at my credit union collects foreign coins.

I just had a real thrill, but it didn't last long.

Cleaning out a dresser drawer, I found a Mercury dime.  No idea where it came from.

It was maybe AG, and had cut marks on it.  Also, an interesting date --1916!

Unfortunately, I couldn't find a mint mark.
