I didn't get much, but what I did was interesting:
1 box of halves - skunked except for a 2004-D NIFC
$470 of dimes - skunked
$230 of nickels - War Nickel (1945-P), a 1936 Buffalo and a 1938-S (all in VG condition, maybe F for the 1938-S Jeff. I was really surprised to get the '38-S, as I knew it was rare. In fact, it is the 3rd rarest of the regular production nickels, and I've never seen one "in the wild" before. I also got about 50 2009-D, about 12 in the 1940s and 20 or so 1950s (including a 1951-P in reasonably good shape).
Oh, and I got 2 firsts, a 20 cent Singapore coin (worth about $0.16, as if I could possibly get it) and a 1 Peseta coin from Spain (probably worth about nothing with Spain about to go belly up).
Side note - I have decided to get rid of all of my 1956-1959 nickels, except for those in exceptionally good condition. They aren't rare, and don't fetch high prices except in MS-60 or above, and there are no known errors that would make any worthwhile to examine. Maybe I'll keep them as part of my general nickel "hoard" for when nickel composition is changed and the then old ones can be melted down.
HH to all.
