Gordon and Tanner October Totals PICS ADDED

[gordon and tanner]

I have been CRH for two years mostly nickels. My son and I started to work halves and seem to be having good luck. My job takes me all over Michigan and into Ohio. So I often have time to stop at a bank or two. My 9 year old son has a ball helping me. This past month we ordered our first boxes of halves. Our first box had 1 90%, 7 40% and two standing liberties. Our second and third boxes were skunks.

October Totals
81 pre 1960 nickels
5 war nickles
2 buffalo 1937 and dateless
16 40%
1 90%
2 standing liberties 1936 and 1937s

43 Canadian nickels the oldest was 1961
1 Israel coin
1 50 sverge ore coin
and one coin with an elephant on it.

Halves searched 3 $500 boxes and aprox $900 in customer rolls from various banks.
Nickels searched $400 in customer rolled.
Good Luck to all,
Gordon and Tanner

Sorry we do have pics but I can not seem to load them on this computer.

1 50 sverge ore coin
and one coin with an elephant on it.

The 50 Sverge Ore is a 50 Ore from Sweden.
And just hazarding a guess the elephant coin is from Somalia and really light.

You forgot to add the pocket find 1948 Canadian penny Tanner sweet talked me out of.

I couldnt resist - all my nephew has to do is bat his puppy dog blue eyes and Auntie caves.

Not bad. Congrats.

Minnie,

The Canadian penny will be in the November Totals.

Cool finds, but I don't understand how the ball helps you?

Very nice finds. You guys had a good October.

For the record, Standing Liberty usually refers to the US quarter from 1916 - 30:

Whereas what you found, the US 50 cent piece from 1916 - 47, is usually referred to as Walking Liberty:
