Note: slight rule change for Canadian searchers.

I have always wondered what is still left in circulation (variety wise).
So for 2007, I set up a tracking spreadsheet to keep track of which coins I find in circulation.

As each coin listed is found, I will mark it as found and the list will shrink.

The idea is to see if, amongst all CRHers out there (at least those who contribute to this forum), how much variety can be found in circulating coins.
It can also answer such questions as, can a complete set of Franklin half dollars be found in circulation in 2007.

This first post will contain the rules that are being used.
The second post I will keep updated with a list of the coins remaining to be found for the following list of US coins that may be found in circulation.
-------------------
Indian head pennies
Lincoln wheat pennies
Lincoln memorial pennies
V-Nickels
Buffalo Nickels
Jefferson Nickels
Barber Dimes
Mercury Dimes
Roosevelt Dimes
Barber Quarters
Standing Liberty Quarters
Washington Quarters
Statehood Quarters
Barber Half Dollars
Walking Liberty Half Dollars
Franklin Half Dollars
Kennedy Half Dollars
Eisenhower Dollars
Susan B Anthony Dollars
Sacagawa Dollars

The following coins are also set up for tracking, but until some are found they will not be listed in the second post.
Flying Eagle Pennies
Nickel 3-cent pieces
Shield Nickels
Seated Liberty Dimes
Seated Liberty Quarters
Seated Liberty Half Dollars
Seated Liberty Dollars
Trade Dollars
Morgan Dollars
Peace Dollars


Here are the current rules (will be adjusted if necessary as the year goes along):
1) The list includes all regularly issued date/mintmark combinations of standard US coins.
1A) If a coin has multiple varieties (i.e. Large Date/Small Date, Large mintmark/Small mintmark, Type 1/Type 2, etc). then each variety will be listed separately. I will also keep a more generic listing for those times when it is not clear which variety is found and the poster can not provide a picture or the coin can not uniquely be identified.
1B) Error coins and die varieties count, but only as a date/mintmark combination. In other words the 1955 DDO penny, would only count as a 1955 penny.
2) The list includes all date/mintmark combinations that were not intended for circulation such as coins from proof sets or mint sets.
2A) If a proof coin also has a standard issue coin with the same date/mintmark combination it will only be listed once unless there is a unique way of identifying it such as silver versus clad. In other words Silver proof coins will be listed separately.
3) Coins must be found in circulation, (rolls from the bank, in the "take a penny" jar at the local gas station, in change from the store, from slot machines at the casino, etc.)
4) NOT counted, coins found while metal detecting.
5) NOT counted, Coins found prior to 2007.
6) NOT counted, coins found buying others coin collections, old piggy jars at rummage sales, etc. as they are no longer truly in circulation.
7) Counted, only coins which can be identified (either by legible dates or using marking that are a single year type such as the 1883 No Cents V-Nickel) count.
8) Counted, coins which can be identified only after treating with acid so long as both the date and mintmark can be identified.
9) NOT counted, coins with counterfeited dates/mintmarks except as their original date/mintmark combination, if it can be determined.
10) Counted, a cumulative list of commemorative US coins will be kept, if reported.
11) Counted, US coins found in any country in the world, so long as they are circulating. In other words a Us coin found in Canada counts.

Also, I will be keeping a cumulative list of the different countries from which foreign coins are found. But some additional rules will apply for foreign coins:
12) Foreign coins must be found in the US or Canada and they cannot be transported in by travel out of the country of origin. (as that would make it too easy)
13) Since Canadian coins are found quite readily in US bank rolls, I decided to add tracking sheets for the follow Canadian coins as well:
13a) Any Canadian coin found in Canada that has not yet been found will be changed to Blue
13b) Any Canadian coin that has been changed to Blue will be changed to Red if later found in the US.
Canadian penny
Canadian nickel
Canadian dime
Canadian quarter
Canadian half dollar
Canadian dollar
Canadian 2 dollar

****************
* Important Note
****************
I plan on tracking the different finds listed in all other topics as well as ones listed here since I read them already, but if you want to be sure I don't miss something enter it under this topic.


Regarding what to report:

I will assume the following "common" recent dates will be found so there is no need to report them:

Lincoln Pennies:
* 1959 - 2007 Philadelphia (except for 1960 small date)
* 1959 - 2007 Denver (except for 1960 small date)
* 1968 - 1974 San Francisco (except 1970 small date)

Nickels:
* 1960 - 2007 Philadelphia
* 1960 - 2007 Denver
* 1968 - 1970 San Francisco

Dimes:
* 1965 - 2007 Philadelphia
* 1968 - 2007 Denver

Quarters:
* 1965 - 2007 Philadelphia
* 1968 - 2007 Denver

Half Dollars:
* 1971 - 1974, 1976 - 1986, 1988 - 2001 Philadelphia (except 1976 silver since the red book claims they were minted)
* 1971 - 1974, 1976 - 2001 Denver (except 1987)

Dollars:
* 1980, 2000 - 2001 Philadelphia (I would list 1979 as well, but I am not which is more common narrow or wide rim)
* 1979 - 1980, 2000 - 2001 Denver

In addition, if a coin type that is was listed above is found, report it. Although I don't expect many/any other coins to be found in circulation, it is still possible.

Happy Hunting in 2007.

Since I'm the one that found them, here's more details that you're missing:

Philippines coins:
5 sentimos (1989)
10 sentimos (1995)
25 sentimos (1996)


Also, a Panamanian Half Balboa is the same as 50 cents. "50 cents" is the Americanized value of a half balboa. The coin states the value as one 'half balboa'.
