S Means Silver!
This weekend was excellent!
I started things out with 5,750 pennies (hand rolled).  In them I found thirty-one Wheats, forty-five Canadians, two US dimes, one UK penny, and one German 2 Pfennig.  The Wheat varieties were:
1929, 1934, 1938, 1940, 1941, 1944(5), 1946(3), 1947, 1948, 1949, 1951D(3), 1952, 1953D, 1953S, 1954D, 1955, 1956(2), 1956D(3), 1957, 1957D(2), 1958, 1958D(2)
I next looked through 1,080 hand rolled nickels.  They produced one War Time (1942P) and two Canadians.  In the bunch was also a key date Jefferson, 1939S.  One for CH.
And then on Saturday morning I went out to do my bank run.  I only found 356 halves, but the keeper rate was great.  At one bank I found one whole roll of 90% Kennedys and one whole roll of Franklins, both firsts for me.  And then after another few banks I found a roll marked "S".  In it were one 90% half and nineteen 40% halves.  I guess "S" means silver!  In total I found 41 90% halves and 27 40% halves.  I found eight Franklins I needed for my album.  The variety breakdown was:
1951, 1952D, 1953, 1953D, 1954D(2), 1958D(2), 1959, 1960D, 1961D(2), 1962D, 1963D(7), 1964(5), 1964D(16), 1965(2), 1966(3), 1967(7), 1968D(10), 1969D(5)
Found: 2 pennies (at Shaw's), 1 dime (at Shaw's)
Redeemed: $5.10
