Friday (11-2) I picked up a $50 bag of pennies just before I went out of town to go deer hunting.

14 wheat pennies (1938, 1941, 1943, 1944-D, 1944-S, 1947-D, 1952-D, 1952-S, 1954, 1954-D, 1955-D, 1956-D(2), 1958-D)

25 Canadian (1963, 1964(2), 1967, 1968, 1971, 1977(3), 1980, 1985(2), 1987(2), 1989, 1990, 1991, 1994, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2004, 2005)

3 Foreign (China, 1 Jiao (2003), France, 2 Euro Cent (2001), Switzerland, 10 Rappen (1981))

1 washer

And then yesterday I stopped by again to cash a check and picked up a $200 bag of nickels and was also given a 500 Franc coin from Belgium (1990). I found one for sale on Ebay and apparently its silver, I'll have to figure out the weight for HobBob's thread. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Belgique-Silver-500-F-Coin-1990-C182_W0QQitemZ130169409075QQihZ003QQcategoryZ45149QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

The $200 bag of nickels was pretty good, but had a lot of pennies mixed in so I am concerned I might be a bit short.
1 - 1942-P War Nickel
2 - 1943-P War Nickels
2 - 1949-S
48 other pre-1960 Jefferson (1939(3), 1940(4), 1941(5), 1941-D(3), 1946, 1947(3), 1947-D, 1948, 1948-D, 1949-D, 1951(2), 1952-D, 1953, 1953-D, 1954(2), 1954-D, 1955-D, 1956, 1956-D, 1957, 1957-D(5), 1958-D(6), 1959-D(2))

13 Canadian (1961, 1975, 1976(2), 1978, 1983, 1987, 1988, 1989(3), 1993, 2003-P)

2 Foreign (Great Britain, 1 Penny (1990), Great Britain, 20 Pence (1994))

Oh and for those who will ask, the hunting was pretty good. Ended up getting 2 deer (a doe Saturday morning and an 8-point (almost 10-point) buck Sunday morning) and my cousin got his first deer ever (first year he hunted).

Nice finds, very cool on the deer. I love venison on my plate, hate it on my car, so you have my blessing on filling many tags !!

My dad does all my processing that doesn't get sent out for special requests like jerky now that he's retired. Biggest problem this year will be freezer space.

I used to help out growing up, but now I live to far away to help easily help out during the week and I expect it will all be done by next weekend.
