Recent Finds From A Penny Box.

That was an unexpected find. Uncirculated set tokens are included in uncirculated coin sets produced at the U.S. Mint specifically for coin collectors. They are minted on a penny planchet, though technically carry no legal tender status and have no face value. Finding one in circulation is uncommon to say the least, and finding this one in AU+ condition is probably even less common.

The 1924 came from the same box, as did about 10 other 40’s and 50’s wheat cents, 2 Canadians, and a decent selection of AU type 60’s-80’s pennies.

A silver ender?

Unbelievable! How fitting for the day I post about searching dimes. I grabbed a tray of dimes from a local branch on a whim this morning and this 1953 was peeking at me from the end of the roll! I’ll update with any other finds once I get through the rolls.

EDIT: Nothing else in the rolls. One silver is better than none though!
