The troglodyte runs deep. But i will say, i do not coin roll hunt. Nothing in it for me. Found this today. Does this count? is that some sort of thing by that floating P over the white house? Looks split. Any nickel people in the house with an award winning collection? (@Lem E). Anyway, i know, another nothingburger, but I'll take silver all day long. *edit @Lem E *edit edit @VKurtB i respectfully disagree with your strict definition of "circulation". What if it's found on the ground? What if i grab it from a coinstar? Change from a vending machine? Still very much in "circulation". Lighten up, my friend ! THIS is the date and mint mark that should be checked for an over date, but this one isn’t. CoinJockey73 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VKurtB Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 (edited) Found on the ground? Yup, in circulation. From a Coinstar? Nope. Change FROM a vending machine? Yup. Change you collect from a vending machine? Nope. If you actively collect it up, no. If it randomly comes to YOU, yes. The guy that runs the coinsblog.ws web blog went over two years without doing a cash transaction because he’s a COVID phobic. He can’t do circulation finds.

By the way, all the above, 100% circulation finds, 100%. If i dip my finger into a payphone coin return slot, and there's a 1936P quarter in there, that little gem has 100% been found in circulation. To refute that is you just being silly. And you don't strike me as one who wants to be perceived as "silly". What you're saying is "change". I'm saying "circulation". ANY coin still out there is technically circulation. And you strike me as a very technical person. So technically, a 2022D Sally Ride released yesterday into circulation is the same as the 1936P that's floating around there in change somewhere. Both technically in circulation because they're both out there, no? So to clarify, there's a MAJOR difference between your definition of circulation (change) and my definition of circulation, which is actually the definition of circulation. Whew. Happy trails, to you... until we meet again...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoinJockey73 Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 @VKurtB I'm not trolling you. You can ask around, I'm just being me. I don't take much of this seriously, which i apologize for, but I need your advice. Four nothingburgers, but I'm filling my whitman with my best circulation finds. Which do you go with? The shiny clean looking ones, or the circam looking ones? Blurry pic, but I'm thinking upper left or lower right. My guess is you'd just chuck the whole lot, but if you were forced to, which dud would you put in the album. Gun to your head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top right looks pretty good to. They both have more detail in the hair of Roosevelt. The others look a little more worn by the picture.

It's funny you mention the hair because when you said that coin, that's exactly what i looked at. The hair is very pronounced compared to the other 3. Great eye. I'm learning, slowly!

I don’t put ANYTHING in my current series Dansco albums that isn’t fully Mint State. That means Kennedy halves, any flavor of Washington Quarter, Roosevelt Dime, Jefferson. Nickel and Lincoln Cent. I also don’t put in any non-MS Mercury Dime or Franklin Half. The Franklin and Kennedy halves are complete in MS, as are the Roosevelt Dimes and Jefferson Nickels. A tiny handful of cents and quarters remain, all of which are very expensive. Edited May 27, 2022 by VKurtB CoinJockey73 and Hoghead515 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Provolone, unless someone reading this makes a wholly unanticipated guest appearance, a la "E.C," and says: "I am the former owner of that coin, I inherented it from my late father and..." You get the idea. Even the eyes of non-collectors are drawn to that exaggerated mint mark. I know mine were. It's 35% silver content is an added bonus. I know it's easily worth 20x face.

I don’t know what you mean by choosing either. What I can tell you is that EVERY CURRENT YEAR COIN that eventually ends up in my Dansco albums will have been cut from an uncirculated set or proof set or bought from a dealer (2022 S quarters). None will have come from circulation. Edited May 27, 2022 by VKurtB CoinJockey73 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think of me as a ten year old child, just starting out on his first whitman. You're a kindly wise gentleman, who wants to give the best advice he can to this first time collector. Which dime (from the 4 before) do you think goes best in my album? 1946P See? I've got a little down time, and i was going to plug with "circulation" coins. I'll have all the P and D. Almost none of the S. Thanks, my friend. @Hoghead515 had a nice suggestion earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, I’d suggest a good two-sided view album rather than the simple blue folder. The better blue Whitman is okay, as is the brown Dansco.
