Completed one of my $50 bags of pennies. Average quantity, but a pretty good mix of wheats.

16 wheat pennies (1915-D, 1918, 1934, 1937, 1940, 1941, 1944-D, 1944-S, 1946-D, 1950-S, 1951-D, 1951-S, 1953, 1957-D(3))

38 Canadian (1939, 1957, 1958, 1961, 1962, 1964, 1965, 1966, 1967, 1968, 1969(2), 1972, 1973, 1974, 1976, 1977(2), 1978, 1979, 1980, 1981, 1982, 1983, 1984, 1985, 1987, 1989, 1991(2), 1993(2), 1995, 1996, 1999(3), 2003-P)

The 1939 Canadian penny is a bit knicked up, but it is the first 1939 Canadian penny that I have found and now I am only a 1937 from completing my first set of George VI pennies (both lifetime and in 2007). It also fills a hole on the tracking list.

Finished the other $50 bag of pennies from the first stop.

I thought it was going to be a good bag when the first two handfuls produced a 1939-D and a 1917-D, but alas things slowed way down after that.

Ended up with:
13 wheat pennies (1917-D, 1929-S, 1939-D, 1942, 1944, 1946-D, 1955-D, 1956-D(2), 1957-D(3), 1958)

27 Canadian (1953, 1955, 1966, 1968, 1973, 1976, 1977, 1978, 1979, 1980, 1981, 1983(3), 1984, 1985(2), 1988(2), 1989, 1992, 1993, 1998(2), 1999, 2001(2))

The 1917-D and 1929-S were the 99th and 100th different wheat penny I have found in 2007. Only 42 left if I count the 1928-S and 1941-S large and small mintmark varieties.

22 Canadian (1962, 1967, 1973, 1974, 1977, 1978(3), 1979(2), 1981, 1982(3), 1983, 1987, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1997, 2001(2))

1 play money penny

Only 1 more bag to go from this bunch.

Just finished the last $50 bag of pennies (minus the error checking which I will complete tomorrow and update the post if I find anything of interest).

Another average bag with a couple of goodies.

1 dime

The 1909 is the 101st different wheat cent for me in 2007.

I was just in Newfoundland last week. Tourist shops up there were selling Newfoundland pennies for CAN$3.
