Nice find in register!

While going through some coins in my cash register at work last night I came across this beauty: a 1915 Wheatie! It's in pretty worn shape, but hey it's got history. Here's a picture, albeit in poor quality.

Sweet. What's your oldest register find? Mine is a 1916 S cent.

That 1915 is my oldest register find thus far. I also found a 1919 about a month ago, which was nice to see. When did you find the 1916-S? Is it in solid shape?

My 5 year old son got a 27 wheat in a coin star reject tray the other week. We started a putting them in a book. Good find

The 16-S was the coin that got me going on CRH now MDing and stacking. That was 2008. Long story but a co-worker's husband was into old coins and sparked my interest. Good enough shape to get me goin'. Best register find didn't make it to the register. Customer paid with a merc. I snatched it up straight away. Don't remember what year, but hey, it's silver.

Nice save. My wife actually got a Merc dime back in change last month, & our daughter got a '57 Rosie. I chimed in this week and received a '45 Wheat.

Funny what you still find in circulation. I have a habit of eyeballing around the pumps whenever I get gas. The other day I found a 1917 Wheat just laying on the concrete.
