When I received the most recent issue of Coins and read the coin finds article, I decided to look through my cup of coins where I place my change just to see what was there. Imagine my surprise to find a 1980 proof dime in near perfect condition!

I also do the coin roll hunt for old coins. I started a couple of months ago to collect a few for my granddaughters, and to my surprise, and I thought I’d found a million-dollar coin. I found in a roll of nickels, a 1960 two headed Jefferson nickel! I took that nickel to my local coin dealer at a San Jose coin shop and was told that it was a novelty nickel found in some novelty or magic stores. The coin dealer’s advice was “keep searching.”
