Keepers: Week #3

Cents ($85 Searched):
[18] Wheats
[15] Pounds of Copper Cents (I hand sort for keepers first then use my Ryedale to sort the copper from the st-zincs!)
[4] Clad Roosevelt Dimes
[4] KG VI Canadian Copper Cents ('52 and earlier)
[9] QE II Canadian Copper Cents ('53 - '64)
[123] QE II Canadian Copper Cents ('65 - '96)

Pennies were really weak this week so I didn't even finish my last box (I was also tired)! :coffee2:

Nickels ($128 Searched):
[10] Pre '82 Canadian Nickels (Bullion)
[1] '42P War Nickel
[1] 2005 Bahammas Pineapple Nickel

CWRs of nickels have been pretty paltry in the early going this year so I am going to switch exclusively to boxes here on out and hopefully that improves my results! :dontknow:

Dimes ($2210 Searched):
[1] Merc ('17)
[12] Roosies
[1] QE II 80% Silver Canadian Dimes ('64)
[1] QE II 1968 50% Silver Canadian Dime
[2] QE II British Five Pence ('90 & '01)
[1] Singapore Dime ('86)
[1] Cayman Islands Nickel ('05)

Dimes were a little slow this week as well, good thing I had some other nice finds to make-up for that! :thumbsup:

Quarters ($630 Searched):
[1] Washington ('64) :thumbsup:

I couldn't believe my luck with quarters last week so I went overboard this week but did manage to find another one from a CWR! :icon_sunny:

Halves ($3620 Searched):
[2] WL (2x '42) :icon_thumright:

[5] '64s

[75] 40%ers :thumbsup:

[2] S Proofs ('77 & '83)
[2] Gold-plated halves
[1] St. Christopher Be My Guide Token

All I can say is wow - [82 silver halves]!!! :thumbsup:

I dropped my volume down to 6 boxes this week and found some much better boxes in addition to some really nice CWR pickups! :icon_sunny:

Dollars ($103 Searched):
[103] Clad Ikes - (100 BU Bicentenials in one pick up!)

Foreign:
Found almost $7 in Canadian coins in the reject slot of the coin counter this weekend!

Just under $500 in melt value - now that is what I call a great week! :thumbsup:

That's a lot of work done! Good job on dimes and nickels :wink:

You've got 0.1 lb of nickel. :icon_thumright:

Keep stacking!

Great week $$, nearly $500 in melt value is very impressive indeed! :icon_thumright:

You always have a great assortment of finds - and a nice variety of Canadian keepers.

At this rate you should have another amazing year.

That is one great week. I didn't know you had found a merc that old either. Congrats!!

Thanks guys, if every week was as fruitful as this one, I would probably start missing a lot of work for "appointments"! :thumbsup:

Thanks friend, I'm thinking of adding a monthly photo with all accumulated "keepers" to add a little spice to the thread! :icon_sunny:
