A few goodies over the last two evenings. I have a 5 gallon glass water bottle that all of my pocket change goes into. I haden't emptied it for a couple of years & it was about two thirds full. I (almost) always give my change at least a good look before I dump it in the jug. I got out my big lighted magnifier & set it up in the den & started inspecting pennies, nickels, dimes & quarters. Half's won't fit into it.
I found as follows:
Wheat Cents: 41-D AU, 44-P, 45-P, 51-D, 52-D, 53-D (2), 54-D, 55-D BU,
Canadian Cents: 50, 56, 58, 64,
Jeff Nickels: 38-D, 40-P, 47-S, 53-S, 54-D, 59-D (3), 60-D (2), 61-D, 62-D (2), 63-P AU (2), & full 2 rolls of 1964.
Foreign: Barbados 95 1 cent, French 1/2 Fr. Silver.
It took four canvas coin bags each 2/3 full to lug it to the bank. Total $980.35. Let me tell you, that's a lot of coins to look at one at a time.
It has been cold, North breeze, fog on & off, light snow topped with three days of freezing rain & a high of 22 degrees. Not good detecting weather.
Guess we all gotta do something to keep from going nuts. I know I am spending too much on coins off of ebay. Oh well. At least I have the money from the change to support the ebay habit. Happy hunting & Merry Christmas to all!
