Return to Halves

Last night I returned to searching half dollars. I'm trying to complete a circulation set for trade. I got two boxes. In them were two 90% silver halves (2 x 1964), eleven 40% silver halves (2 x 1965, 1966, 3 x 1967, 4 x 1968D, 1969D), and one Canadian $2 coin. The Canadian twoonie is the first foreign coin I have found in the halves I've searched. It's the highest value foreign coin I've found (worth $2.05), too (interesting how this is only two days after my most worthless foreign coin find).



I also searched 10,000 dimes (four boxes) and found nine silver dimes (1942, 1953, 1954, 1957, 1961D, 2 x 1963D, 2 x 1964), fourteen Canadians, and one UK 5 pence piece.

And finally this morning I searched one box of pennies, 2,500 coins. In it was fifteen Wheats and fifteen Canadians.

Found: 1 nickel (at Sovereign Bank)

Well worthless is subjective, according to the World Coin Book in XF that Guyana coin is valued at $0.10 and yours looks better than XF.

Those UK 5 pence always pop up I found 30 from 1992 alone in my change over the last couple of years.
