Another reason to check your change
Today at work while counting tills something in the penny tray caught my eye, and to my amazement it was an 1894 Indian Head Penny in Fine to Very Fine condition. This coin was better than the one in my coin album so it will now have a nice home. Since most banks don't take in change from customers people are using those change machines and people who don't know what they have are throwing all kinds of coins into circulation as people generally don't handle
Fingerprint on proof coin
I had to send back one of my sets as well with what seems impossible, the Lincoln cent obverse had a fingerprint on it. The Mint states that proof coins are not handledwith bare hands but I know a fingerprint when I see one, so please check your coins as the Mint is producing more coins than they can handle with the same quality controll as in the past.
