Nice finds! You're doing better than me and I've been coin searching my till for 3 months. The best I've found is a 1963 Canadian dime I got on Tuesday.

Haha good scores, how do you go about checking the coins? As they come in or in your down time? I used to work at a gas station (before I was informed about coins) and I had plenty of time in between customers to look through bills (although I didn't know what I was doing) I found a 1950's silver certificate dollar bill and a few 2 dollars bills (awesome finds i know )..

i guess i just spot em... i had a lady dump out change to pay with at the counter, and a buffalo nickel was in the mix. but she kept it.

I would just tell her that you would pay a dime for it.

That's always been a hobby of mine: checking through register change. Worked at a greasy spoon here in town in the 90's found a couple Mercury dimes and a few Buffalo nickels. Several wheat cents. Certainly gives you something to do on slow days!

Shout out to all fellow cashiers out there, I have had streaks of finding silver in my 2 1/2 years of being a cashier at a local grocery store. My last streak just ended a couple weeks ago. Every sunday for around 3 weeks, I pulled a silver coin, including a mercury dime from the early 30's. I also found a 43 Washington and my last find was a 64 rosie!

That's awesome!! You'll find better ones sooner or later. My best friend used to pull 2 Peace, 1 Morgan, and other goodies out of her cash register.

welcome to the family!! I've been a cashier for over 20 years and there has been some interesting coins that I have found. Once you get to know your fellow cashiers, watch to see who else is looking at their change. I have a freind who works with me and she likes the "america the beautiful" series, so I save her the newer ones that she doesn't have and she saves me all the canadian, wheats and oddball coins that I like. Watch out for the silver skimmers. We have two of those in our cash office. Luckily We still have our rolls to go through, especially if they are see through. Enjoy your job as a cashier, that's one job that will always be in demand and one that can pay off big for a Coin hunter.

Smiles, and Silver,
