Crazy Dimes

Last night I went through four boxes of pennies and some hand rolled. It was a pretty good night. I searched 13,550 pennies. In the mix were 105 Wheats, 171 Canadians, eleven US dimes, and one UK 1 penny. I found a variety I needed, 1915D! That's an extremely large number of US dimes in the four boxes. It was very strange.

The Wheat breakdown for the last two posts is:

1909, 1915D, 1920, 1929, 1937(2), 1938, 1939, 1940, 1941(2), 1941S, 1942(7), 1942S, 1944(9), 1944S, 1945(8), 1946(6), 1946D, 1947(2), 1947S, 1948(2), 1949(2), 1949S, 1950(2), 1950D, 1950S, 1951(2), 1951D, 1952(4), 1952D(4), 1952S, 1953(2), 1953D(6), 1955(5), 1955D, 1956, 1956D(7), 1957(3), 1957D(6), 1958(2), 1958D(6)

This morning I finished up my new Canadian album sheets. The Gardmaster albums I employ a system which allows easy modification. The binders are composed of plastic sheets on top of paper sheets with dates. I made some Word documents to duplicate the look of the paper sheets and modified the dates on them to be more accurate and current. It took a bit of time to get the measurements and holes just right, but I'm very pleased with the results.



Found: 3 pennies (2 at Burger King, 1 at Staples)
