Key finds from 2010 - Week #1
------------------------------------
* Not 1, Not 2, but 3 silver quarters...only 37 more to meet my goal for the year
* An Indian Head Cent....already met my monthly quota
* A free 1909 silver Canadian Nickel from the reject slot (being as the coin is also tiny compared to todays coins...hard to find)
* 10 silver halves out of 11 halves purchased
* A Mercury Dime in a better than average dime bag
* And last but not least a 1927-D wheat cent, theoretically not a big deal except that it is a first time lifetime find and means I am halfway to my goal of two new wheat varieties for the year....

Finding another new wheat variety will be tough...only 14 choices left and of those only 2 had mintages higher than 9.062 million....(1931 with ~19.4 million and 1913-D with ~15.8 million).

Congrats on 1909 nick, and on the 1910 wheatie and 1905 Indian.

On a side note, I know you've been busy but are you going to do the 2010 tracking list?
