Popular Post J P M Posted March 1, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 1, 2023 This is the fun stuff roll hunting finding nice old coins in circulation. This coin is 61 years old. I love it EagleRJO, JT2, Mr.Bill347 and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powermad5000 Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 I have a tube of nickels that I add to from circulation. They must be pre 1970 and I know they are not worth anything but a nickel or maybe if lucky a dime, but I also pull them from circulation when I get them. I don't know what it is about getting a nickel from the fifties or even forties (yes, I have gotten a few 40's in cash register change), but I am always amazed at the survivability of the nickel in all these years of circulation and yet they are still not worn down smooth.

I also put them aside or in a book. These two are from bank rolls. I believe the nice ones out there are from old coin jars that just get cashed in at the coin star and other places. Maybe these will be worth a buck or two someday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powermad5000 Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 Those are in much better shape than the ones I have in the tube. Nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
