Yesterday searched through the $40 in nickels and the bag of quarters, and started the first bag of pennies. The quarters were a total skunk...I wanted to get a bag of dimes but they were out...so I gambled and went with quarters. I did get two firsts all time, and one was in the nickels and one was in the pennies.

Since I don't do nickels that often, I got my first war nickel, so that was cool. When I started through the pennies, I found an awesome foreign coin, not sure how it got there but an 1885 Austrian 1 kreuzer. Instead of linking to ebay I grabbed the pics and posted...mine is in VF condition, slightly worse than the pics. My heart got all racy when I found that, didn't know there could be that excitement in pennies. May have to do some more sometime. Anyways, I still got another bag and a half to do maybe I'll get through it this weekend. Picked up $200 in dimes today and also found 2 rolls of halves that rolled up under my seat, all skunk but still $20 more dollars for hunting!! Well let me know what you think about of that foreign coin.
