coin collecting

  1. You should see my dime bag!

    Stopped by the bank and got $50.00 in halves and $10.00 in dimes. Now I have a total of $59.90. Because I only kept one dime. It's a 63 Rosie. The law of probability states that I should find more silver when searching half dollars moreso than any other coinage. I've never found a silver half...
  2. Strange

    So I found what appears to be a penny. It has Lincoln and the memorial on the back. Never seen anything like it.
  3. Nickel with planchette stuck to it (?)

    Hello, I recently found this coin in a drawer not metal detenting. It is a 2007 Jefferson Nickel, with what appears to be a copper planchette (coin blank) attached to it. I ran it under the Equinox 600 and it chimed in at 12-13 vdi, which is Jefferson Nickel territory on the Minelab. I saw a...

  7. Are These Safe to Store Coins

    I found these coin display cases online where you can suspend your coin in between 2 thin sheets of plastic. I think they look great but have heard a few people complain about storing your coins in plastic, specifically plastic with PVC. I was wondering whats your thoughts on the safety of...
  8. ERROR COIN!!!

    Hello! Enyone bored from being in quarantine yet? I'm starting to get bored and I wish very badly the snow was gone and the ground defrosted so I could kill my boredom with metal detecting. So I found this dime from the change from going through the Burger King drive thru... is it an error...

  11. 1 cent 1956 mexican coin or button?

    I had found this little coin a few months back, but had thought it was a button. After some research I realized it’s actually a 1 cent 1956 coin from Mexico, it says ‘Estados Unidos Mexicanos’. Except on the back it appears to look like a button loop. So I thought maybe someone made the coin...

  15. Strange marking on a walking liberty half dollar possible double die or different die

    Hello! Can anyone help me identify what is going on here with this Walking Liberty Half Dollar? I used my digital microscope to get a little closer to the coin so that I could see if the "markings" clearly spelled something out but I just cant tell if or what it says. Can anyone help? have...
  16. What was the first treasure you found hunting that got you hooked?

    For me, I was dabbling in some coin roll hunting of pennies. Just a box or so every month. But, one day I peeled back the paper and saw a band of tarnished gray that is unmistakable. Silver! And I mean real silver, not just a clad dime that got mixed into the penny roll. I lifted it out by the...
  17. How Did You Get Started?

    Hey, Everyone! When I was a kid, I started coin collecting on my own. I didn't have a mentor to guide me, only a few magazines and if I was lucky, my parents would take me to a pawn shop where I could ask a few questions. There was no internet that I could reach out and grab the answers to my...
  18. Old Coins In Circulation

    I've been mostly focused on coin roll hunting Silver Wartime Nickels and have heard stories of people finding Buffalos even Libverty V nickels, too! This seems unlikely to me as I have yet to even encounter a Wartime nickel in the wild. So, either I've got to take it on faith that these coins...

  21. 1916 Standing Liberty? No date...

    While taking my dog on a walk about a month ago, I came across a pile of things with a big FREE sign above them. A worn canvas and leather shoulder bag caught my eye (I thought it would be perfect for bringing metal detecting) and I picked it up. Well, I just took it out today for the first time...
  22. Buffalo Nickel 1936 "F"

    I have a 1936 Buffalo Nickel that appears to have a stamped "F" below the 3 and 6 of the date. Any comments would be very helpful. Thank you
  23. 1988 D Quarter Error??

    The mint mark on this coin looks weird to me. Is it a worthless error like machine doubling or something? Thank you!
  24. 1962 D Lincoln Penny Error?

    Does this coin worth more than a one cent or is it just a damage from a rolling machine? Thank you!
  25. One Dollar Coins?

    Hey guys I'm planning on coin hunting pretty soon so I was doing some research on the coins and I found close to nothing on the one dollar coins and I doubt it's because no one's tried them. Wikipedia says that it doesn't have any gold or silver in it by composition so I thought that was why but...
  26. Great fundraising idea that involves a lot of coins

    At work our booster club did a "Money Wars" fundraiser. The idea is to have a prize to raise the stakes among the different departments or teams in your organization. This was in anticipation for the Christmas party, with two winning teams (out of around ten teams) getting the VIP room. For a...
