Transitional Coin Spill 11/25/2009

I find coin spills or pocket spills to be fascinating.  Especially older ones that show the mix of coins that were in circulation together. Indian head and wheat cents, Barber coins mixed with Mercury dimes or even Washington quarters.  Today's spill seemed to really capture a pivotal moment in our nation's coinage.  Circa 1965, I'm sure, it consisted of a clad 1965 quarter, a 1964 nickel and a silver 1964 dime. Neat to discover an example of the clad coins and silver coins circulating together, frozen in time.

    I'm Nick A. and I am a metal detector hobbyist in Central Ohio.  I have been metal detecting for 20 years, and currently use the Minelab E-Trac detector.

    I am always happy to find silver coins (made before 1964) for my collection, as these are no longer in common circulation.
