Decided to try for the silver home run.
Silver home run = at least 1 silver nickel, dime, quarter, and half dollar from the same bank in the same trip:
So I picked up 1 box each of nickels, dimes, and quarters and the $200 available in rolled halves.
I also said "Sure, why not" when she asked if I wanted a box of pennies too.
Started off with the quarters figuring that would be the toughest one and in the 4th roll....Silver Single
1 - 1941 <--- My first silver quarter of the year.
Was the only the silver in the box.
Moved on to dimes next. Ended up with my best silver dime box of the year.... Silver Double (half way there)
4 pre-1965 Roosevelt (1948-S, 1951, 1964-D(2))
4 Canadian (1981, 1990, 1992, 1995)
Third, I did the nickels. In the third roll out popped a buffalo (1915) and halfway through the box out popped a war nickel (1945-D)... Silver Triple (only the half dollars left)
19 other pre-1960 jeffersons (1940(3), 1940-D(2), 1941, 1941-S, 1942, 1950, 1951, 1953-D, 1954-D(4), 1956-D, 1957-D, 1958-D, 1959-D)
2 Canadian (1999, 2000)
Note one 1940 and one 1940-D were each at least AU-50.
On to the half dollars..... skunked...(Had to settle for a silver triple the hard way.)
Figured the halves were the easy one and left them for last.
And last but not least the box of pennies produced the following
13 wheat pennies (1941-S (Small Mintmark), 1944, 1944-D, 1945, 1946-D, 1950-D, 1953-D, 1954-D, 1956-D, 1957-D(3), 1958-D)
15 Canadian (1938, 1963(2), 1964(3), 1965, 1971, 1974, 1977, 1981, 1982, 1996, 2002-P, 2004)
1 Proof Lincoln (1987-S) <---- My first proof lincoln cent
Note the 1938 Canadian still has some of the original copper tint to it.
Oh and when I got home I noticed a 2003-L $1 Star note in my wallet.
Overall, very pleased with the wide variety of keepers.
