Breakfast Out! .. Free Shredding!

Today Henry gave Meg and I a pleasant diner experience. We went to a diner Meg's doctor recommended. It was pretty good. We were seated relatively quickly and it was cheap. There was a bank across the street I had missed sometime before. I went in quickly after breakfast. There I scored a 1964D half from the teller's tray and picked up some $2 bills.

On the way the home we went to a local bank that was sponsoring a community shredding day. They had a large shredding truck in their parking lot to shred whatever one brought them. There were tons of people there. It was good timing too, right after tax day.

Last night and this morning I did a whole lot of coin searching.

I searched 12,000 halves. In them I found fourteen 90% silver halves (1939S, 1943, 1946, 1951, 1952, 1954D, 1963D, 5 x 1964, 2 x 1964D), forty-five (1965, 8 x 1966, 8 x 1967, 13 x 1968D, 1968S, 4 x 1969D), two proof halves (1968S, 1973S), three mint set halves (2 x 2004P, 2005P) and one commemorative (1992 Columbus). I also came across a few plated halves, a chrome, a silver, and two golds. I was very pleased. The commemorative is the first one I've found. It celebrates the 500th anniversary of Columbus's landing. It is clad.



I looked through 480 hand rolled quarters. They produced just one Canadian and one US nickel.

5,450 dimes (two boxes and some hand rolled) turned up two silver Rosies (1953D, 1963D).

In 400 hand rolled nickels I found two Canadians (1 Ni) and in 450 pennies I found two Wheats (1955D, 1957D) and two Canadians.

Found: two plastic coins (a quarter and half in my house)
