Convenience store finds

[bugo]

I have worked at a convenience store for about 6 months, and I've made some interesting finds. Here is a partial list.

Numerous wheat pennies, pre-1960 nickels, Ike dollars, SBD coins, and bicentennial quarters
(2) 1943 steel pennies
1912 V nickel
(2) 1943 silver war nickels
(30+) silver Roosevelt dimes
Barber dime
1964 silver quarter
(3) Franklin halves from 1952-53
numerous 40% silver JFK halves
(2) Series 1957-A $1 silver certificates
numerous $2 bills
numerous pre-1996 $5, 10, 20, 50, and 100 bills
1917 French 50 centimes silver coin
1861 British half penny
Other foreign coins including a 1967 Canadian penny with a bird on it

I find it amazing that all of this money is still in circulation. I work at a backwater store in a backwater town. I can only imagine what it's like at a big store on the highway.

Way to go. That's a great haul in just six months. Keep looking, there might be more.

That is amazing, and to think they are not dug coins which would make them even more valuable!

Totally cool! Especially those really old coins - W0W! Andi

Nice, way to go! One of these days you'll find a real valuable one. People pass away and their relatives spend their coin collections, or hoard of coins.

I think being in a backwater helps...I live in suburbia and when I worked retail...Id get a silver coin here and there...but never more than one a year...

I agree with Pete , backwater store + backwater town is why it's working for you !
