This week's haul (8/8)

I got to my four banks this week and picked up $512 in CWR of dimes, nickels, and pennies. I managed to find a '46 and a '59D in the dimes. The nickels had two '43P's. And the pennies made up for last week with 39 wheats, a dime, a British penny, and two Canadian King George V cents; a '29 and a '35.

Very nice for such a small amount of face value. What was the breakdown, roughly? Were there mostly cent rolls? mostly nickel rolls? 30 rolls of each denomination?
Thanks for sharing your finds with us!

Ditto what he said. Exactly what I was thinking. I've found a ton of Canadian cents over the years but never one of the older type.

I've been CRH'ing for over 14 years and even though I live less than 90 minutes from Canada, I have only found about 15-20 Canadian King George V cents. And since Canada stopped minting and distributing cents a few year ago, I'm a little surprised they showed up at all. They must have been stuck in circulation in the US.

About $340 in dimes, a little over $100 in nickels, and the balance was pennies ($60+).
