Lincoln Book
Yesterday my company had it's annual golf tournament at Stow Acres. It was a great day. Perfect weather and a beautiful course. I just wish I could help my team out more. Better luck next year!
In the past few days I went through some coin. In two boxes of pennies I found twenty-eight Wheats, thirty-one Canadians, one Barbados 1¢, and one Bermuda 1¢. I didn't find any new varieties.
The Wheat breakdown has been:
1916, 1920, 1928, 1929S, 1934, 1937, 1940(2), 1941(6), 1942(2), 1944(9), 1945(4), 1946(5), 1947(2), 1948(3), 1949, 1950(3), 1950S, 1951(6), 1952(2), 1953(2), 1953D(4), 1954, 1954S, 1955(3), 1955D(7), 1956(3), 1956D(7), 1957, 1957D(4), 1958(2), 1958D(3)
I also searched two boxes of nickels. The boxes produced one War Time (1942P), six Canadians, one Bahamas 5¢, and one Bermuda 5¢. No new varieties.
While dumping a bunch of coins at the coin counting machine, I went through a box of dimes. In it I found one silver Rosie (1964D), six Canadians, and one Bermuda 10¢. I think I'll try to multi-task like that again in the future. It was much better than just standing there waiting.
Finally, last night the mail delivered a new coin book for me. It's titled The Complete Guide to Lincoln Cents and it's by David W. Lange. I only managed to read a couple of pages this morning, but it seems like a good one. The same author also wrote one on Buffalo nickels and Mercury dimes. I'll finish a book I'm reading by Tim Severin first.
Found: 1 penny (at the Sovereign Bank), 1 quarter (in TP's front lawn)

That is a great book I've been trying to get one for years but they tend to be over my budget or out of stock when I try to order it.
I got it via Amazon, slightly used. I didn't check Half.com, but they might have it there and I've had good luck there before.
I'm through most of it already, it is worth $10 or so, I think.
