Seven In A Row

After missing my alarm clock yesterday things turned around. At work I beat my record and made seven consecutive shots using my co-workers office basketball hoop. And then at lunch I found a mini coin hoard outside of the bank consisting of seven coins.



When I got home I searched two boxes of halves (2,000 coins). They only produced one mint set half dollar (2004P). That was a little disappointing.

I also searched 10,250 pennies (four boxes and some hand rolled). In the bunch was forty-eight Wheats (including one steel!), eighty-seven Canadians, one Australian 5¢, one US dime, and one plastic penny. The plastic penny is great. A teller has shown me some she's found in rolls, but this is my first one. I found a picture of a package it could have come from. In the same fed wrapped roll I found the steel penny in was a chrome plated 1945 penny. At first I thought I found two steels in one roll, but I was wrong.





The Wheat breakdown for the past two posts is:

1927, 1929, 1938, 1941(3), 1942(2), 1943, 1944(3), 1945(6), 194692), 1947, 1947(S), 1948, 1950, 1950D, 1951, 1951D(3), 1952, 1952D, 1953(2), 1953D(4), 1955, 1955D, 1956(2), 1956D(5), 1957D(3), 1958D

Found: 2 pennies (outside Sovereign Bank), 1 dime (in Sovereign Bank), 5 foreign coins (1 Canadian penny, 4 Canadian dimes, all outside Sovereign Bank)

I figured it out. We like that name around here as it is a common CAD term.
