Mr. Apush and I settled down by the pool with 3 boxes of halves tonight. Popped the top of a cold one and commenced to begin our evening.
I was 2 boxes short from one of my banks. My fault. I had told the head teller when school started to only order me 2 rather than the traditional boxes 4. She remembered. Since then, we have found a dump bank on Saturdays.
Fair to Middling Results: 3 Boxes
5 Bens (1 was a 1955--my first)***Correction (dang it!) It is a 1953. That is why I should wear my reading glasses. Those darn 5s and 3s look almost alike in some cases. Darn the luck.
36-40%
I also picked up a nickel box (3 war nickels) and a dime box (1-1964 & 1-1945S). Also found 2 dated buffs, 2 non-dated buffs, and one V-Nickel that was in the worst shape possible (1885--last digit almost unreadable).
Starting a part-time job soon. Adjuncting as a professor of history at a local community college on the weekends. Gotta pay for a wedding. 14 years and counting toward retirement!
I hear the Galveston beaches calling me.
New: I will be sending that V-Nickel to one of our posters to verify. He is an expert in coins. Hope I got that one right!
Happy Hunting!

"Bad condition or not, you can still say I've found a V nickel in circulation!" That nickel box was great. Did you find any 1938 jefferson nickels?
