Where's the Silver?

Last night my wife and I celebrated her retirement at a new (new-to-us, anyway) Indian restaurant near our home. It was good. Somehow I managed to go through a lot of coin.

I picked up my now usual four boxes of halves yesterday ... all dated 10/30/07, ugh! The curse continues, I think. I only worked my way through one box, 1,000 coins. I didn't find anything.

I also searched 5,600 quarters. In them I found seven Canadians and two US nickels. Sadly, my three week silver quarter streak came to an end and I came out 40¢ short.

Six hundred dimes produced nothing. I think I'll devote next week to dimes. I had been relying on hand rolls to supply these, but there haven't been too many turned into the banks I frequent.

Lastly, I searched 10,600 pennies (four boxes and some hand rolled). It was a respectable bunch. In it were eighty-two Wheats, eighty-five Canadians, one Bermuda 1¢, one Bahamas 1¢, and one Panama 1¢. There were no Wheat varieties I needed in the boxes, but they produced the highest Wheat numbers I've seen in some time. The varieties were:

1917, 1919D, 1934, 1935(2), 1939, 1940(2), 1940S, 1941, 1942, 1944(11), 1945(9), 1946(2), 1947(2), 1947D, 1948(2), 1949(2), 1950D, 1950S, 1951, 1952(4), 1952D(5), 1953(4), 1953D, 1955(4), 1956(2), 1956D(5), 1957(2), 1957D(7), 1958(3), 1958D(2)

I also picked up a new Utah 2007P quarter at the bank.



Found: 2 pennies (at work)
