Jefferson Nickels again

OK. I haven't been real consistent about reporting my Jefferson nickel finds. Maybe it's because of the alignment of the sun, moon, and Jupiter. Or, maybe I'm lazy.

Anyway, I just emptied my pocket change.

I have ONE 1999-P nickel. ONE? That's it? Just one friggin' nickel? What have I been doing?

Oh, yeah (he said lamely). I've been spending my pocket change without looking through it first.

Folks, this is a coin-collector's mortal sin. We should ALWAYS look at the coins we get just in case some bozo actually spent his great-grandmother's 1909-S VDB Lincoln or his dad's 1955 Double Die!

OK. I know. Not bloody likely. Still, we take the time and examine our coins. Just because we can. And you never know what you might find.
