My personal collection

[Young River]

Someone in another forum wanted to see my coins that I collected. I used to work as a bank teller for about 15 years. I am not anymore. Over the years I was able to rescue coins that would have otherwise been tossed out as "mutilated" coin because it wouldn't go through the currency counter or someone brought it in and just wanted "face value" for them. I even suggested to some that they might want to take them to someone who would be able to tell them if they were worth hanging on to. Most just said that they just wanted to cash them in. Some I've found in my own pocket change and some i found on the ground or what have you. I like them for the historical value and do not want to profit from them. I just enjoy getting them out & looking at them every so often & wanted to share. I may have to post in two posts to get all the pics in.

Nice herd of buffalo you have going there. The dime/penny is very interesting. Stone Mountain commemorative, inmo, is one of the prettiest. And you have to love mint wheaties. Nice collection.

That's a great collection! Someone must have put a penny on that dime & either put it in a press or jit it with a hammer for the imprint to get in there! Thanks for sharing..

The herd of buffalo was part of $17 worth in a bag that came from a courier. I was thinking the same about the dime having been "stamped" somehow with a penny & maybe a vise or something. Thanks for looking!

I sure don't know why you were hesitant to post your collection, it is awesome! Thanks for sharing!

By the way, the dime/penny is worth some pretty good cash! A dime planchet fell into the penny slot blah blah blah, bottom line check it out!!
