Been busy with work so I haven't had much time to search this week.

So among the few stops I did make:

Picked up 40 Eisenhower Dollars (1971, 1971-D, 1972, 1972-D, 1974-D, 1976 Variety 2(4), 1976-D Variety 1(3), 1976-D Variety 2(24), 1977-D(2), 1978, 1978-D)

Still have to figure out which variety the 1972 is, haven't had time to look yet.

Out of 5 rolls of half dollars + a couple of loose ones picked up 1 - 1967 Kennedy.

Out of 2 boxes of nickels -
Box 1 - just common date nickels

9 Canadian (1978, 1980, 1984, 1989(3), 1995(2), 2004-P)
1 Foreign (Mexico, 1 Peso (2003))

Box 2

1 Foreign (Ecudor, 5 Centavos (2000))


From 1 $25 bag of pennies from a coin machine:
8 wheat pennies (1930-D, 1941, 1944, 1946, 1947-D, 1957-D(2), 1958-D)

So you're able to still cull some Ike's. Wow, I guess I should start asking.

Whatd'ya say? 'Got any large dollars?' 'Got any Ike dollars?'

I search some of everything pretty regularly....... except SBA/Sac dollars to date. I think the most I have ever gotten of those was $20 at one time.

Search totals for 2007 to date:
95335 Pennies searched.
62206 Nickels searched.
70320 Dimes searched.
25825 Quarters searched.
25702 Halves searched.
179 Dollars searched.

279,567 coins searched. Personal goal is to search (via some method) 1 million coins in 2007. Need to average about 2500 coins per day for the rest of the year. We'll have to see if I make it.

Note that some of the dimes/quarters (probably 50% of the quarters and 25% of the dimes) I only did a quick search while at the bank looking through the clear plastic wrappers and only bought the rolls with the "odd' single-toned coins.

For any coins I bring home, I look at the date/mintmark as well as look for certain errors (most of which I haven't found yet).
