2000-P.... :P

But the remaining 40% was pretty good.

Box 1:
1 Frankiln (1954-D)
2 - 90% Kennedy (1964(2))
2 - 40% Kennedy (1965, 1966)
1 Proof Kennedy (1983-S)
1 Foreign (India, 2 Rupees (1982))

Box 2:
5 - 90% Kennedy (1964-D(5))
6 -40% Kennedy (1966(2), 1968-D(3), 1969-D)
1 Special Mint Kennedy (2004-P)

Also had a couple of interesting 2000-P's (See below)

My son ended up having to have an appendectomy (spelling?) on 02-20-2007 due to appendicitis. So I was at the hospital all night (02-19) and my wife joined me in the morning. After the surgery, my wife stayed. Since I had only slept about an hour that night, I headed for home. Since the hospital we were at wasn't on my typical route I decided to stop by a couple of the local banks as well.

By the time I got home I had picked up the following:
Pennies:
1 box of pennies (still haven't opened it) - maybe tomorrow

Nickels:
1 loose 1948-D nickel (the war-nickel looking coin in the tellers tray)
30 rolls of nickels (they didn't have a full box available) which produced:
1 War nickel - 1943-P
13 other pre-1960 jeffersons (1947, 1947-D, 1949, 1953-S, 1954, 1957, 1957-D(2), 1958, 1958-D(3), 1959-D)
1 Foreign (England, 20 Pence (1982))
Note: this is the most nickel rolls purchased at one time without a Canadian nickel among them in 2007 for me.

Dimes:
Picked up loose 1 silver dime from a teller's tray. He had 4 (including a merc), but he would only sell me one (1960).
21 rolls of dimes which only produced 1 Canadian Dime (1984)

Quarters:
12 rolls produced only 2 Canadian Quarters (1972, 2000)

Halves:
$390 in rolled halves (not including the boxes mentioned above) produced 1 - 40% Kennedy (1969-D)
and $30.50 in loose halves which produced 2 - 40% Kennedy (1967, 1968-D)

And although this isn't really coins, it was a result of CRHing.
At one of the banks I stopped at, I was talking to the teller and she asked if I collected currency as well. I said I dabbled in it. She proceeded to show and sell me the following (See pics below as well):
2 - $2 red seals (1953, 1953A)
1 - $5 red seal (1963)
2 - $5 Federal Reserve Notes (1934, 1969C)
1 - $20 Federal Reserve Note (1934)
1 - $50 Federal Reserve Note (1934A)
1 - $100 Federal Reserve Note (1934)

Not sure if any of them are worth anything due to their condition, but figured they were kinda neat to show my kids if nothing else.

The coins pictured all came from the boxes (the others are not pictured).
Top 2 rows: 90%.
Middle Row: Proof 1983-S and India coin
Bottom 2 rows: 40% Kennedy.

The reverse on one of the 2000-P was either poorly struck or had a grease filled die. (See pic)

Oh, and before I forget my son is doing fine and is home now. Which also means I will be stuck at home for the next couple of days (see post for 02-21-2007 for my "errand" run today.)
