Tuesday, Coin pickup day - 07-17-2007

[GMan00001]

Did my typical run today...cashed in the approx. $1000 in dime rejects from yesterday and ended up picking up

1 - $500 bag of dimes
1 - $200 bag of nickels
1 - $100 bag of nickels
2 - $50 bags of pennies
1 - $25 bag of pennies

I wasn't going to pick up the pennies at all, but I was told almost all of them came from a church fundraiser...so I decided why not. Though I probably won't be picking any up for a couple weeks now as I keep falling further behind on them... with todays pickup I now have $1150 in unsearched pennies. Gotta get busy so I can free up that search money again.

I also looked at all the ends of the rolls of the boxes of nickels at the bank I got the "war nickel bonanza" box from, but I didn't see anything that looked the same, so I didn't buy them.

Went through both bags of nickels so far.

The $200 bag had
1 - 1943-P War Nickel
1 - 1941-S Large S
1 - 1955

1 penny (the size of a dime)

Was the planchett the wrong size, or was it worn to the size of a dime?

Appears to be intentionally modified....all beat up on the edges.
