Coin collectors?

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.

Gee, I have several "jars" of money that I never bother. I even have Mama"s old coin purse full of coins that I just take out and look at now and then. Maybe I need to look at the coins closer...
