1 2000 Ty II
1 1992 with a very nice obverse die-crack
1 1997 with a recessed rim front and back
1 1998 Canada Cent
6 2010 Sheild Cents
and 87 pre-1982 copper cents.
1st search in a few weeks that hasn't produced any wheats. Still not a
bad haul.

I haven't gotten a wheatie in quite a while but I did get a major off-center
Zincoln while searching several rolls.
About 20% of the cents I searched were pre-82s.
2 more rolls of cents this morning-
25 pre-82 cents
1942 & (2)1945 wheats
4 more rolls today-
43 pre-1982 copper cents
4 Canadian Cents-1970, 1973, 1978, 1979
1 Wheat-1944-S
2 2009 cents
2 2010 cents
1 2010-D cent
Just a quick observation. Here in the mountains of central NY, it
took almost a year before we started seeing 2009 cents, but 2010
Shields started showing up almost immediately.
On another coin, STILL only two DC-Ps and one PR-P quarters seen in
circulation. No other Territorials, and no ATBs.

It's kind of a sad commentary on the state of collecting today when so much
of the excitement seems to involve finding a 2010 or 2011 coin in
circulation or getting bank rolls of dollar coins and noting the reactions
when spending them. It also makes me wonder how many of the so-called "new
collectors" generated by the state quarter program ever progressed beyond
pushing those circ quarters into the holes in a board.

Speaking of the Shield cent, I may be in the minority but I really like the
Shield design.
It's not bad, I agree. I am a little disappointed that they didn't
make a new portrait of Lincoln; just how long are they going to keep
Brenner's design on it?
Has anyone noticed that the 2010 & 2011 dates have slightly different
Lincoln portraits? As I recall, they went back to the original 1909
design for the 2009 issues, & seem to have kept it in 2010. But this
year, they're back to the hollowed-out shoulder they had in the 1990s.
I haven't thought about it since the SQ Program ended. I noticed a
LOT of uncirculated SQs in my change starting in 2009. All those
people who saved all of the SQs they could get their hands on were
disappointed to find out that they couldn't get Coin Vault prices for
$25.00 worth of quarters in a Harris folder.
On the other hand, my once disinterested son started filling in an SQ
board and got hooked on Kennedy halves and Presibux. So there are
some NCs out there.

Jerry,
What on earth are DC-Ps, PR-Ps or ATBs, please ?
It would be much more useful if people who use abbreviations also put
their meaning.
Pertinax
I would think that DC-P is a District of Columbia state quarter minted
in Philadelphia, PR-P is the state quarter for Puerto Rico from Phili,
and ATB stands for the America The Beautiful quarters.
===================================================
If they put in the meanings, there would be no use for the abbreviations!
I'd wager 99.99% of the readers of this group knew exactly what Jerry was
writing of.
Apologies. When the SQ (Statehood Quarters) program was up and
running, we used to reference the individual quarter by their two-
letter State abbreviation followed by the mint mark (e.g., NY-P).
That "shortcut" carried over to the Territorial quarters. Thus, "DC-
P" refers to the District of Columbia quarter, Philadelphia mint. "PR-
P" refers to Puerto Rico, Philadelphia mint. Here in RCC
(rec.collecting.coins), ATB refers to America The Beautiful. I hope
that clarifies.
Jerry
I rec'd a 2006-S North Dakota Proof State Quarter in change today.
Goes to show people are dropping any and all change into circulation.
Makes the 3rd S-Mint SQ I have rec'd this year, to go along with a
painted Connecticut SQ.
i've found 3/4 of all the kennedy proof and buy only halves. one was a full
roll of 95s's. they had been removed from sets and put in the roll very
carefully.
