I’ll have to look around here but we had all my great father’s wheat Pennie’s have or maybe had a few mason jars full. They might be at my parents house though cause I haven’t seen them in a while

Well I did have quite the coin collection when I was a kid. I don't know what mom did with it when I went off to the military.
No gold, but I did have plenty of silver and copper. It would probably be worth a reasonably sizable chunk today! My uncle had a Mobil gas station. Quite often I would go up there at the end of the day and he would let me go through his change. Remember, this was a time when your change could actually buy something! So he definitely had quite a bit of it. When they stopped making solid silver coins, he did most of the collecting! That didn't bother my collecting since I was mainly after the older generation of coins, Mercury Dimes Franklin half dollars etc. I had a little old lady give me a Booker T Washington commemorative 50 cent piece for raking the leaves in her yard. I had never seen one before so I had to go look it up at the library. At that time, it was worth $2 ! That was pretty good pay for a little kid raking a yard!

I lost them in a house fire in high school but my grandpa owned a coin and sports card shop so i had a badass collection of stuff he fave me as christmas and birthday presents! He didn’t shop he just grabbed something out the display case and had grandma wrap it! He retired from the marines and wasn’t the friendliest of people! My mom said i kicked him in the shin when i was like 4yrs old and he held it against me my entire life so guess I’m lucky i got any gift from him!

For the mid/late 60's, $2 was damn good pay! Took me less than thirty minutes to do.
I had some baseball cards too. From bubble gum collections!
Those old Grunts can be pretty mean!

If that's ketchup, you and my boy would get along quite well! I have no idea where he got his ketchup fixation! Ever since he left home, I buy small bottles!
One of his Christmas presents this year is some Sonic Spicy ketchup! I don't know why in the world he can't get it where he lives. They have Sonics!

Look what I found in my change today. The sound caught my ear first when I had it in my hand and then I spotted it.View attachment 1722318View attachment 1722319
You just don't find almost 80 year old coins every day!

That's the error '46.

My grandmother collected wheat pennies and silver dollars. No idea where they are anymore. i got some weird quarter as change last week. Only noticed it because it was super shiney. Then I looked at it and it's some weird quarter with a woman on it. Doesn't look or feel real. So the wife looked it up. Turns out it might be worth a couple grand. So I gotta find somebody to check it out better then I can with a scope and Internet info. It's some sort of newer series of quarters and it has some sort of stamping issue

What error? It looks like just a Denver coin.
