1949 Wheat Penny

Found this in a roll of pennies at work.

1990 One Cent

This is a Bahamian penny which I found in a coin roll at work. I will never understand where we get our coins. They sort for nothing. Still, that's pretty styling with the flamingo and the marlin. You have to love coins with animals.

1944 Wheat Penny

This is my 1944 Wheat Penny. I actually probably have more than one of them, but eh, they're pretty common. There's no mint mark on this one, which means it was made in Philadelphia. This one is pretty beat up and not worth much of anything, not that any of my coins are. World War II still had a year or so left in it when this was made.

1945 Wheat Penny

This is a 1945 s Wheat Penny that I found today at work. It's not worth all that much but I think it's a year I don't already have a wheat penny for, so that's nice. It was minted in San Francisco, California during World War II. It's the only one out of the many Wheat Pennies I have that is from that mint, too.

1930 Buffalo Nickle

 This is the Buffalo Nickle I found today in a roll of coins at work. It's in pretty amazing condition considering it's been in circulation. It's the second one I have, and the first is in a lot worse condition. I'd been thinking of starting a blog about my coins for a while now and this set it off. I mean, I don't really collect American money over anything else. Most of my collection is foreign. It's just crazy looking through money people use and finding something like this- it makes me think of what hadn't happened when this was made. No World War II for instance. The Dust Bowl hasn't even started yet, though it's well on it's way. Pluto was confirmed as a planet that year. And it's right there in a roll of nickles. Crazy.
