Took another vacation day from work to pick up and dump as much coin as I could. To be honest, it was mostly tedious, but there were a few highlights. First, I ordered 10 boxes of halves for next week, which I might turn into a regular thing if I can get a system down. The bank is out of the way, but I can probably justify the drive if I hit the gym right after, which I need to do WAY more than I need to coin roll hunt.
Second, I found my first old-school commemorative half dollar - the 1925 Stone Mountain Memorial - in my weekly one box of halves. It's unnaturally shiny, and I'm not sure what to make of that. Plated? Polished? Either way, that was such a cool coin to see.
Third, I found my third barber dime in one of the coin counter bags I purchased. 1916, the last year of barbers. It was in one of my last handfuls of coin in that bag. I saw the reverse first, so I had that whole "is it a barber or is it a seated?" tease going on. Happy to break my barber drought, as the last one I found was over two years ago.
Add to all that 28 Rosies, 1 silver Canadian dime, and 1 1964 ken. Now, time to wash my hands and go to bed!

Great scores!!! I am waiting for a stone Mountain commemorative, it's one of my favorite designs for old commemorative halves. Congratulations on the barber and solid bag of dimes too!

Styfflin: too bad the 1916 Barber wasn't a 1916-D Merc, that would make your day. Congrats

Nice finds!

Just pick up the 10 boxes and skip the gym, or if you can swing it hit the gym first. It is relatively common for cars to get broken into while at the gym, as burglars know you'll be in there awhile. It would be devastating to lose $5,000 in halves that way.

Former Teller is right. That is common and would really put a damper on a fun hobby. GL & HH...Brad
