Since Sunday was a holiday, today is really the first full day of National Coin Week and the Great American Coin Hunt. As you go to work and buy your morning coffee, breakfast, lunch, or anything else during the day, check the change you receive. There could be a surprise.
Don’t forget about the ANA Trivia Contest!
For those who come into my shop this week, I will be adding some older coins to the cash register and have a few giveaways for the young numismatists who visit.
I will do what I can in support of the hobby, but what about you.
Since I have not posted a poll in a while, I thought this would be a good way to start the week.

Sometimes when everybody is busy looking for unusual pieces, other unusual pieces pop up where seemingly no one is looking. The Lowell quarter in my silver proof set has non-standard mirroring when compared with my clad ones. The is NO mirror finish around the image of the woman, but only around the buildings in the background. My clad proofs all have mirroring around the image of the woman.
