All Halves

This weekend I just searched half dollars. It was a busy weekend. On Saturday I raked leaves and welcomed Santa to my nephews' town and then on Sunday my wife and I went to Babies R Us and Home Depot.

In total I searched 6,019 halves (four boxes and many loose coins). The four boxes were silver skunks as I predicted based on the date of the boxes. :( The whole bunch produced eighteen 90% halves (17 x 1964, 1964D), twenty-four 40% halves (1965, 3 x 1966, 5 x 1967, 10 x 1968D, 5 x 1969D), one proof half (1983S), and four mint set halves (2002D, 2 x 2004P, 2007D). The 2007D is a variety I needed for my album. The last bank stop was one I'm glad I made. While grocery shopping with my wife I decided to check the bank in the store. I'm glad I did. They had nineteen halves, thirteen of which were 90's!
