    Coin collectors?

    I have a passing thing about collecting coinage.

    It's not a hobby, I just like to find old coins.

    I found an almost immaculate 1959 penny in a handful of change I got from the store the other day!

    This makes me think that people are dipping into jars of old money to spend during these times....be on the look out for some really cool change!

    Yep, I've noticed the same thing...sad to think that folks might have to be doing just that, but they can feel confident that I love the coin dearly as it nestles in my table safely with old friends.

    Your collection looks like mine!

    I was almost speechless because I would have never seen the penny had I not seen in it the sunlight and saw the wheat pattern JUMP out at me!

    Good luck collecting!

    Richard, have you found a buffalo nickel yet? That would be neat.

    All the pennies I get are nothing special, but I've found some pretty
    old dimes.

    No, I do have some of the new Buff nickels!

    Look for silver quarters! When you look at the milled edge, they are one color and, I think, older than 1963. The old dimes are silver too.

    I have been looking for a mercury dime!

    Pennies are pretty standard, you find all kinds of old ones there.

    There are steel pennies from the war years, rationing and all that-I have seen one, but it wasn't mine.

    I have two of them. One had been made into a necklace charm, so it's
    not valuable anymore.
