Looks like a busy week.....includes a tough Canadian coin.

[GMan00001]

I have Monday through Wednesday of this week off. I would have done a road trip, but because I have the kids (they get bored) I just did a few simple stops when out and about in addition to my standard weekly stops.

Picked up a bit of coin....
$1 Canadian dollar coin
$274 in loose half dollars (coin machine bag)
2 - $1000 bags of dimes
2 - $500 bags of dimes
2 - $200 bags of nickels
4 - $100 bags of nickels
18 - $50 bags of pennies

Should keep me busy for this week.....132,549 coins to search.... :P

The pickups were from only 4 banks.

Here is what I completed so far

Great start there gman......................and good luck during the week !

 

[BBcardsRI]

Grats on the finds so far!

But dang... that is a TON of coins to search. The number of penny bags CERTAINLY jumped out at me. I'm shocked that 4 banks would even have that much in pennies.

CRAZY

[DrDetector]

True, that 1970 Can. dime is a tough one...one of the few non-silvers I'm missing. Nice to pick one up!

Unbelievably in the next bag after finding the 1970 Canadian Dime....I found a second one.

[DrDetector]

GMan, how do you determine which type of grooves are on the 1968 can. dime?

 

[BBcardsRI]

Nice work on the addition silver dimes and the tough canadian date.

And billy... the bags of pennies can be found at banks with coin cointing machines. To get 18 bags of them from only 4 banks, they either came from HEAVILY trafficked banks, or banks that for some reason don't ship bags out as often as the banks I go to.

GMan, how do you determine which type of grooves are on the 1968 can. dime?

looking under magnification...most have been the square style. A quick web search returned this

All these banks ship out weekly. Only one of the banks had a higher than usual count of penny bags (7 bags) when usually they only have 2 or 3 bags. Hoping the 7 bags are not someones dump as they only had pennies and quarters.... which was odd.

And yes one bank does a high volume of coins as they allow anyone to use their coin machine without a fee (with or without an account) and all the other banks in that town I have heard charge a fee even if you have an account. I would go to this bank every week, but it is out of my way so I only go occasionally.

Thanks! That first link has some nice pics for differentiating.

~Dave

For 2008 through just over 880,000 pennies my average per $50 has been about 19 wheats. Now take away my one great bag (531 wheats) and the average drops to around 16 wheats/$50.
