Ordered 12 boxes of halves today but only got 8 because the ghetto bank forgot to order. That's par for the course.

Didn't get any skunk boxes out of the eight boxes and the dream box remains elusive. Still have two more tries before the year is up though.

Today I picked up my oldest find, an Italian 1867 Centesimi coin. Same size as a half but copper.
I never knew him, but one my great- grandfathers was born in Italy in that very same same year.
Anyway here is what else I got

2x 1942 WLH
1x 1943 "
2x 1944 "
1x 1945 "
1x 1963 Ben
10x 1964 Kennedy
1x 1966 "
18x 1967 "
23x 1968
5x 1969 "

Nice finds today. I haven't seen any Italian coins in my box searching. Got a couple from the old coinstar reject tray! :icon_thumright: (But not from the 1800's)!
