Tuesday was 2 Merc day 10-16-2007

[GMan00001]

Did 2/3 of my typical Tuesday run, but was out of cash so I didn't stop at my last bank.

From bank #1 I picked up
1 - $1000 bag of dimes

From bank #2 I picked up
1 - $200 bag of nickels
2 - $50 bags of pennies

And bank #2 has a $1000 bag of dimes that is just waiting for me...as long as I get there before they prep the coins for shipment to the Fed tomorrow afternoon... I am thinking lunch run to cash in my dime rejects and pick up the other bag, just hope I am not too late.

So on that note, I did a quick edge search of the $1000 bag of dimes and like the title says

2 Mercury Head (1941, 1943) and the 1943 was in XF to AU.

5 pre-1965 Roosevelt (1954, 1961-D, 1964, 1964-D(2))

1 - 1964 Canadian (silver)
13 other Canadian (1971, 1975, 1979(3), 1980, 1982(2), 1984, 1986, 1988, 1989, 1998)

2 Foreign (Great Britain, 5 Pence (1990), Moldova, 25 Bani (2003))

1 Quarter
5 pennies
1 small washer

Tied for my second best bag of dimes for quantity of silver (had 1 bag with 10 silver coins)

Hope the rest of the coins produce as well.

Well I managed to cash in the rejects from the $1000 bag of dimes from Tuesday and purchase the $1000 bag of dimes from the other bank today.

Didn't do as well as the first bag, but I did find 2 silver roosie's that I hadn't ever found in the wild before and one from a country I had never found before, so I can't complain as long as the overall count is accurate enough.

The 1929-S is in at least VF and possibly XF condition.
And the 1938 Canadian penny still has a touch of red and is probably at least XF as well though I am not sure of the grading of Canadian Pennies as of right now.
