The roads weren't great in the Twin Cities today due to a storm that's blowing through. So I decided instead of crossing the cities to go to a coin show and dealing with city drivers who don't know how to drive in the snow that I would do some country driving and relieve a couple of small towns of their halves.

Ended up only relieving one 4-bank town of $1088 of their halves. Didn't go to the other couple of planned towns due to a late start.

Found:
2 Franklins (1952-D, 1961-D)
2 - 90% Kennedy (1964, 1964-D)
12 - 40% Kennedy (1965, 1966(2), 1967(4), 1968-D(4), 1969-D)
2 Proofs (1972-S, 1981-S)
1 Foreign (Jamaica, 50 Cents (1989)) <-- In a roll rolled by the bank by hand... not sure how the 10 sided coin looked like a US half, but can't complain.


I picked up 25 Eisenhower Dollars (1971(5), 1971-D(5), 1972-D(15)) at one of the banks.


On the way back home I stopped by a branch of a large local bank that was open later and picked up 13 quarter rolls, 13 dime rolls, 32 nickel rolls, and 24 penny rolls. I would have gotten more, but the vault wasn't open and they were short on change.

The quarters produced squat.
Dime only produced 1 Canadian (2002-P)

Nickels were pretty good:
1 - 1947-S <--first of the year for me (only 7 left to complete the pre-1960 Jefferson collection for 2007)
1 - 1949-S
2 - 1953-S
12 pre-1960 Jeffersons (1940, 1941-S (Small S), 1946, 1947, 1953, 1954, 1954-D, 1955-D, 1958-D(3), 1959-D)
1 Foreign (France, 5 Euro Cents (2001))
1 Canadian (1968)

Pennies produced:
3 wheat pennies (1944-S, 1952-D, 1956-D)
10 Canadian (1947, 1963, 1973, 1978, 1983(2), 1984(2), 1987, 2001)
1 Foreign (Bahamas, 1 Cent (1992))

Also got a 1963 $1 bill and a 2001 $1 Star note when cashing in my rejects. (I frequently get 100-200 in $1's when I cash in my reject coins.) The 1963 is the oldest I have gotten when doing this.

I'd say you had a pretty good day GMan. Any day you get silver is more than you had the day before. Congrats.
