Yea time for the end of year stats. Let's dive right in.
Books: If you have older ones skip the 2010/2011 upgrades. If not then wait to buy the 2012 versions.
Equipment: Cameras are getting better and cheaper, scales are very cheap everywhere and nothing new stands out.
Now for my change finds. The graph below shows 48 world coins found from 16 countries which was the highest numbers in years. Canada also set a new record with 28 finds, which is more than one Canadian coin every two weeks. Adding U.S. finds I'm up to 80 significant finds which is also record setting.
Certain countries always come up. The United States, Canada, Bermuda, and Trinidad & Tobago. One country went missing for the first time, Great Britain. I always found British coins but this year not a pence. I know things are bad in England, I have not heard from James in a while, so travel and spending must not be a top priority.
Oldest United States Find
1919 Cent (found two of them)
Oldest Foreign Find
1921 Canadian Cent
Most Valuable Find(above face value)
1953-A $5 dollar star note in AU about $55.00 (pictures coming soon)
Again the most valuable find was a note not a coin. Nearly all notes I found had better values then the coins.
Most Valuable Foreign Find
2002 1 Dirham in VF about $1.50
Most Valuable Coin Find
1940-D United States dime in VF about $2.25
Wishing everyone a Happy New Year and change for all

I have a 1955 Canadian penny that appears to be a mint mistake. It is silver in color and there are two blobs of metal sticking up on it, one covering up the '19' in 1955 ant the other covering the 'nt' in cent as well as part of the maple leaf. Is it worth anything?

ReplyDeleteThis kind of error is not possible instead it sounds like this coin was used in jewelry and plated.
No extra value.

What are alabama tax coins I found some moving my parents?
ReplyDeleteProbably a sales tax tokens to overcome the fact that sales tax in the early 20th century would give stores an unfair profit.
These are generally $4.00 or less but I am not an expert, unfortunately I do not know any good sites.
