Did my typical Tuesday run today.

Bank #1
1 - $50 bag of pennies

Bank #2
Nada (as expected)

Bank #3
The teller forgot to order my $1000 in half dollars....said whe would for next week instead.

Bank #4
1 - $500 bag of quarters
1 - $1000 bag of dimes
1 - $100 bag of nickels
1 - $50 bag of pennies

I only did the quarters since I could afford the extra due to the half dollars not being available, basically hoping I get lucky.


Finished the $100 bag of nickels first as they always seem to be quick and have something in them.

By total quantity of older nickels it wasn't a very good bag, but there was a couple of tougher dates in the few that were there.
1 - 1938-D <--in AU almost BU, almost full steps, slightest wear only, though it has been toned by something.
1 - 1941-S Large S <--tough to find the large S variety.
1 - 1955

14 other pre-1960 Jefferson (1940(2), 1941(2), 1941-D, 1946, 1948, 1948-D, 1949, 1954-D, 1956(2), 1958-D, 1959-D)

1 Proof (1990-S)

5 Canadian (1968, 1985, 1986, 1989, 2000)

1 slightly flattened penny with memorial reverse indented into Lincoln's face on the obverse. I think its post mint damage, but very weird looking coin, slightly bigger than a normal penny.

Here's a couple pics of the 1938-D.

very nice nickel finds. I think that penny might have been run over or something.

Managed to get through 1 bag of pennies last night before crashing.

15 wheat pennies (1920, 1924-S, 1944(2), 1944-D, 1945, 1946, 1948, 1950, 1950-D, 1951-S, 1954-D, 1956-D, 1958-D(2))

17 Canadian (1950, 1957, 1964, 1967, 1971, 1972, 1974, 1979, 1983, 1986(2), 1987, 1990, 1991, 1994, 2000, 2003-P)

1 Foreign (Germany, 2 Euro Cent (2002-G))

1 dime

The 1924-S is #20 on the lowest mintage wheat pennies and fills a hole in my book. Always like breaking into the top 20.
