Excellent GMan. Good perserverance with the quarters. Two in one day too, that's a good way to break the drought. I'm sure jealous of that 43D!

Thats quite the dry spell on the quarters, glad ya broke it... Question for ya gman.......... Why does everyone post their finds of Canadian finds? My bank spits them out & gives them back to me. Uless they are silver I don't get it. Anyone can answr if they wish, just trying to find out. Thanks, Seger

Essentially my answer is because I do.

I just choose to post everything that is not a standard recent US coin (such as a memorial penny) with the exception of a few errors. For me, I track a bunch of different stats about what I find anyway, and what I post is primarily a copy and paste from my other tracking so it is no extra work for me.

Hope that helps.

Congrats on the silver quarters......as you know they are very tough to come by these days. Perseverance baby!

You still have my vote for CRH'er of the year!!! I just don't know how you do it.

Happy Holidays
