May 2009 Totals......... Drumroll please.......... "UPDATE"
Well what a month this turned out to be. It started out with a nice box on may 1st. and than I went into a 2 week drought. but by the 3rd week things picked up.... Sort of......
The 3rd week of May I got laid off again..... So I put my coinroll hunting into higher gear.
I added a few more boxes to my weekly totals and visited a bank that has a coin counting machine in the lobby. I started to nurse the bag by dropping $100 in halves in the counter because that's all they allow without a charging a 3% fee. But when I got Laid off I grew impatient. And I succumbed to paying that fee. See below related post.

I also Helped out a friend in Flint, about an hour drive for me, and visited a couple of banks in his area and pulled some nice finds out of around $900 in assorted coin,
That is where I scored the Booker T and the Canadian Half as well as the 1899 British penny in 1 hand roll.
I followed that up with a visit to a sister branch of the bank where I got the Dream Bag in the above post. That bag was a decent score in itself with several Ben's and Walkers and a total of 50 keepers and 1/2 dozen Canadian $2 coins.

That Fri I got the Brinks box with the mint state Ben's and Nice Walkers in it.
This was also my first adventure on eBay as I managed to find Some Log Cabin penny's and since I had time on my hands I searched them out and found a vein of those not many but enough to make Mama happy. Very Happy.
So once again I did my usual 12 + boxes a week and stepped that up over 15 after week 3 also getting a steady stream of penny Nickel and Dime Bags from my Credit Union. Searched over (5) bags of dimes (5) bags of Nickles and (7) bags of penny's
The Dime bags have all been short at least $5 and produce many Canadian's as well And I'm only pulling 2 0r 3 silver out of each. So it has been a though month on the dimes.
The Nickles Did not fair much better. I only pulled a couple of War nickles and 2 Buffalo's. Lots of pre 60's which I don't really account for here cause I just toss them in a box for a later day.
The penny bags produced okay and I pulled a fair amount of Wheaties but it's been over a Year since Ive seen an In-jun.
To go along with all of that I probably searched about $2k in hand rolls with varying degrees of success.
So here it is......... Drumroll please.
(103) 90%'s......... (46) WL's (26) BF's (30) JFK's & (1) Booker T
(416) 40%'s......... (22) 65's (64) 66's (125) 67's (86) 68's (117) 69's (1) Proof 69S (1) Proof 76S
(23) Rosie's (1) Canadian Dime
(4) Wartime Nickles (2) Buffalo (1) 1993S Proof Nickle
(5) Proof Half Dollars
(129) Wheat Pennies (12) Log Cabins (1) Blank &........ Several Boxes of Log Cabins.
(21) Canadian $2 Coins From Half Dollar Bags.
