Hey Guys!
Happy Monday! Things have been crazy fro me with my work schedule and the website that I am building right now to talk about my interests! Thankfully among the insanity there were some exceptional coin finds this weekend! On Saturday I had a customer giving me change and ask what this coin was...
 |
| A 1997 Mexican Peso in alright condition! |
Naturally I told her it was a Mexican Peso and once she learned I was a coin collector she traded it to me for a nickel! Apparently this coin is worth approximately $0.55 right now, but since this was the only foreign coin she had I don't think a trip to a currency exchange location would have been useful.
Sunday was a very busy day at the grocery store and full of unique coin finds! First off was this 1954 D nickel!
 |
| A 1954 D nickel with a LOT of nickel oxide on it! |
While there is a lot of nickel oxide present it is unusual to find a nickel from the 50's in modern circulated change, so for five cents this was a good pick up! Next I found these two Canadian cents from 1977 and 1986 from the same cent roll that I had opened near the end of my shift!

| 1977 Canadian Cent |
 |
| 1986 Canadian Cent |
And as I was leaving for home I saw this shiny cent stuck behind the tray of the CoinStar machine. Turns out it was a 2009 D cent with lots of luster left and a Lincoln bicentennial reverse!
 |
| The coin I found Sunday is on the left and the older coin I had is on the right |
 |
| Just look and the difference in luster (and the lack of gunk on the new coin)! |
So many awesome finds in just two days! The only downside of these new coins was putting them in holders in preparation for this post. I was thinking about something else and nailed my finger with the stapler!
 |
| Don't try this at home kids! |
Nothing terrible put still an experience I would not recommend others repeat!
Talk to you all tomorrow and Happy Collecting!
