Circulation find

I received a 1943-P "silver" nickel in change at WallyWorld this a.m.
Probably a Fine, tops, but it's the first I've seen in the wild in decades.

Cool find. I got a 1992-P Kennedy half dollar in change at a gas
station recently, nothing special about the date
but getting a half dollar in change isn't common these days.

isn't it a rush? even minor stuff is a major grin.

I got a war nickle in change from a vending machine 5 or 6 years ago.
Worn, but indentifiable. My dad has hundreds of them in mason jars,
but that is the only one I've seen, as you say, "in the wild." I was
thrilled.

"but it's the first I've seen in the wild in decades."

You need to have unlimited access to three cash registers. I would make a
guess that I find 6-12 war nickels a year just from counting the three tills
every night.

i've found 3 of those over the years. 2 in one batch, which must have been
part of a collection. still haven't found the overdate.

I would have considered that a dream job when I was about 14.
