Keepers: Week #2
Cents ($105 Searched):
[55] Wheats
[1] '43 Steelie (found on the floor next to coin machine while dumping)
[20] Pounds of Copper Cents (I hand sort for keepers first then use my Ryedale to sort the copper from the st-zincs)
[3] Clad Roosevelt Dimes
[1] 1998 Bahamas Starfish Penny
[3] KG VI Canadian Copper Cents ('52 and earlier)
[13] QE II Canadian Copper Cents ('53 - '64)
[160] QE II Canadian Copper Cents ('65 - '96)
Nickels ($110 Searched):
[7] Pre '82 Canadian Nickels
[1] Plastic Play Money Nickel (found in the garbage can next to coin machine while dumping)
Since I don't need any more nickles for my set, I do not keep any pre '60 nickels anymore!
Nickels have been really bad for silver war nickels for the past two weeks - maybe I will switch to boxes instead of CWRs?
Dimes ($2580 Searched):
[19] Roosies
[2] QE II 80% Silver Canadian Dimes ('59 & '63)
[1] QE II 1968 50% Silver Canadian Dime
[6] QE II Bermuda Dimes ('81, '94 '95, 2x'99, '01)
[2] QE II British Five Pence ('99, '03)
[1] Barbados Dime ('90)
[1] Australia Nickel ('02)
[1] Irish Five Pence ('00)
Quarters ($250 Searched):
[2] Silver Washington Quarters ('59 & '60)
I couldn't believe my luck with quarters this week - my first ones ever from rolls, all the rest have been from teller trays!
Halves ($5520 Searched):
[1] '64
[13] 40%ers (includes a '70S I picked up earlier today - my 3rd one!)
[2] S Proofs ('74 & '84)
Dropping down on my halves going forward - will search 5 boxes per week instead of 7-9 like I have been doing for the past month as the increased volume really hasn't helped much and dumping that many is very painful!
Dollars ($24 Searched):
[24] Clad Ikes
Tokens:
[1] Angel/Love Pewter Token found in the garbage can next to the coin machine
Foreign:
[1] 1993 Nuevo 10 Pesos with a sterling silver center (more silver in it than a 40%er). Found this in my foreign coin collection after a tip from another poster earlier this week!
That's it for this week!
