Good evening everyone, hope everyone had a good week of searching. These are my results for the last 11 days or so. I've been under the weather for most of the week so i cut back a bit. Still, some good finds were made this week. Here goes.

3/15/11- 2 Bank stops after work:
#1- Picked up 1 half box(Garda)(skunk)
#2- Picked up one box of nickels and cents(both Brinks)
(Nickels produced 2 buffalo(an unreadable date in the 2nd or 3rd roll and a 1936 in the last roll) and a 2000 Canadian nickel.
(Cents produced 21 wheats including a smooth 1918,1926,1935 and 1937. Also 5 Canadian cents,oldest 1963)

3/16/11- 3 Bank stops after work:
-Dumped at penny arcade and pulled a handful of change and tokens from the return chute including a 1939 Quarter.
-Went to my next bank to pick up a box of halves(garda). Opened the envelope from cashing out at penny and poured the change out. I saw a silver edge, it was a 1964 quarter given out as change. The box of halves had 1-40%(1967)
-I returned a bag of halves and bought a box of nickels(garda). I searched part of the box,so far a 1943-P War Nickel.

(1st box had 1-40%er,1967)
(2nd box had 2-40%ers,both 1968-D)

( Finished up the Garda box of nickels from 3/16/11(2 buffalo nickels from the same roll, 1 dateless and a 1926)

3/21/11- No searching, i've been a little under the weather.

3/22/11- Stopped after work and picked up 1 box of nickels and 1 box of cents(both Brinks)
-The nickel box had 4 war nickels(2 in 1 roll)(1943-P,1943-S,1944-P,1945-P), a barely readable 1920 buffalo(only last 2 digits visible), and a 1993 Canadian.
-The cent box had 8 wheats(oldest a beat up 1924) and 16 Canadian(nothing pre-60)

3/23/11-Purchased a partial bag off the machine, it had some nice old coins in it. I posted about this one earlier. Bought a box of halves at the same branch(Garda, Skunk)
-Bought a box of nickels(brinks) didn't get a chance to go thru it.

3/24/11-Finished box of nickels from yesterday(no war or buffalo) only a modern Canadian. Picked up another box of halves(Garda)1 Walker(1943),4-40%ers.

#2-Dropped off a bag of halves and picked up a box of nickels(Brinks)1945-P War nickel,a holed 1924 Buffalo,1991 50 Pesos,1998 Bahamas five cents, and a 1986 Canadian
#3-Bought $10 in cents( mostly customer rolls)

2nd box had 1Ben(1952,an ender) and 1 1919 British penny
3rd box had 1-64 and 2-40%ers

3/26/11- Spent the morning dumping coin. Picked up $100 in dimes(garda),it had 1 silver Rosie. Found another silver Rosie while dumping at one branch, then at another branch i pulled a small handful of foreign coins including a 1959 Diez Centavos coin which rings like silver. Purchased a Brinks box of dimes, it had 1 more silver Rosie. The dates of the Rosies are 1951,1952,and 1956-D.

Ended this week with a bang. As I was on my way home after my last bank stop today, the vehicle to my left swerved into my lane to avoid another vehicle. I avoided her somehow but couldn't avoid the brand new Toyota Tundra coming up on my right and we hit. Fortunately, the lady driving the vehicle to my left stopped even though she suffered no damage. The vehicle that started the whole thing just kept going, the cops tried to find him but he was long gone. Not a good way to end the week, hope all yours went better. Be Safe,MM2

Thanks for the comments, i checked on the 1959 Diez Centavos coin and it's Copper-nickel, not silver. My mistake. Another pic of my truck damage below.
