First Harvest!


This is the first wheat cent I have had so far this year thus the title. Its a 1954-D Lincoln Wheat Cent a.k.a. Wheat Penny. I found it earlier today along with another 2012 $0.01 coin (I'm up to 8 now) and some common change. It is worth only $0.03-$0.05 because the reverse is really scratched up and worn.

1916 Belgium 5 Cent Coin

Got this at the flea market a few weeks back. The reverse says Belgique Belgie 1916 and has 5 Cent in the middle. It is heavily corroded and is thus worth only $0.10.

Goodbye Forever, Canadian Cent :(

Yesterday was the last day of striking of Canadian pennies. According to the Royal Candian Mint the penny is "...ultimately a burden on Canada's balance sheet...". More articles here, here, here, and here.  I will miss the Canadian penny since it was my most common Canadian find . Au revoir Canadian Cent.

1976 Dime!


I found this dime on the ground earlier and since I have never shown one here it is on my blog. It's a regular 1976-D Franklin D. Roosevelt Dime that has a big scratch (for a dime) on Roosevelt's neck. It is only worth $0.10 and is a nice addition to my coins to cash in collection.
