pocket change

[jesbroken]

For the first time in years I received not only one silver coin in my pocket change at the end of the day but two-a 1908 5 Centime and a 1907 barber dime. I figure some kid dug into his dad's change hideaway. Don't have a world coin price book but i would say silver content only as the Barber is G and the Centime is VF(rough guess). Just thought this interesting.

That's cool Jim. You surely don't hear of that type of pocket change going around very much!!

The Barber is a nice find.

 

What is a 5 Centime? pics?

 

Thanks

Thanks Chris,

I would have thought the 5 centime piece was silver,

Go figure.

Nice find, I love it when stuff like that happens.

 

not exactly pocket change but I've been going thru rolls of nickels from the bank and

silver I've found so far:

It's so much more COOL when it's found money!!
