Today , I picked up a pair of silver 1928 S silver Walking Liberty halves in Fine , an Extra Fine 1920 S Wheat Cent , a silver 1931 Bust Half in Very Fine and a 1914 D Buffalo nickel in Very Good . Not bad .
 
Today , I picked up some Indian Cents . He is not as handsome as I but he will do . 1865 , 1879 , 1880 , 1881 , 1883 & 1884 . If my sidekick Danke had been along I could have explained to him how they must have made those for me .
 
Found some rolls of coins in one of my drawers I forgot about. Two rolls Kennedy halves (Bicentennial for one), couple quarters, and some Eisenhower dollars. Probably not worth much so going to spend them. Keeping the roll of buffalo nickles (the ones from the 1930's not the new ones). Keeping those. Haven't checked them for dates yet.

On your Buffalo nickels , after 1919 look for 1921 S , 1926 S & 1931 S , those are the later key dates ( low mintages ) . The mint mark is on the back at the bottom near the rim under the Buffalo . The 1913 - 1919 , pretty much any of the D & S mints have value. Check the Ike dollars for S mint marks , those should be 40 percent silver and check your kennedy halves for anything 1970 or older , 1965 - 1970 and some '76 S are 40 percent silver .

Thanks. There are a few 40% silver halves.
 
Thanks. There are a few 40% silver halves.

That is like hitting the jackpot , three pre 1965 halves are about an ounce , so about 7 of the 1965 - 1969 halves should be about an ounce . You almost never see a 1970 because I think you had to buy them from the mint . I also think Panamanian halves from the same time are the same, without checking.
 
This morning , I picked up an 1862 Indian Cent and a book on California Gold coins by Kenneth Lee .
 
got any egyptian pounds?

I did pick up a 1937 silver Egyptian 2 Piastres coin , by the luster on it I would guess about uncirculated . I pd 4.55 for it . If you want it you can PM me a mailing address , I will send it to you and you can have it for what I pd for it . Probably about the size of an 1875 S silver US Twenty Cent pc. if I had to guess.
 
Today , I picked up a couple Canadian Large Cents and a silver 1856 Large Date Seated Liberty dime .
 
Today , I picked up an 1887 silver Morgan dollar in Extra Fine and an 1888 O , an uncirculated 1916 Buffalo nickel and a silver 1926 Standing Liberty quarter .
 
this may be slightly off topic but has anyone noticed how the new pennies they put out now oxidize immediately? ive seen coins dated 2015 that look older than coins from the 1920's. some aren't even recognizeable.
