Good Week

Things continued to go well for me this week. Henry didn't sleep as well last night, but I (and I think Meg) felt pretty refreshed from the previous nights' sleep and so it didn't bother me too much. We had great fun together last night hunting coins. He seemed to enjoy sitting on the couch watching me and listening to me talk to him and show him things while I searched them a bit. It seems a bit odd, I know, but he didn't seem to want to lay on his play mat, rock in his swing, or simply cuddle. He just wanted to sit and watch. Either this will make him some sort of crazy collector like his father some day, or he'll curse any such notion. I'm not sure.

I looked through 10,000 halves (10 boxes). The findings were OK. The first and last boxes were decent. In total I found seven 90% silver halves (1963, 6 x 1964) and twenty-five 40% silver halves (1965, 4 x 1966, 7 x 1967, 10 x 1968D, 3 x 1969D). With those 40%'ers I finished one whole of box of them!

This morning I searched 3,760 quarters (all hand rolled) and found two silver Washingtons (1964, 1964D), six Canadians, and two US nickels. That felt pretty good.

Next I hunted 1,650 dimes (all hand rolled). They only produced eight Canadians.

Lastly, I sorted 700 pennies. In them was eight Wheats (1937, 1942, 1943D, 1945, 1946, 1955, 2 x 1956), seven Canadians, and two US dimes. The two dimes were in the same roll which was kind of strange. The 1943D is my second steelie of the week! It's a great upgrade to the rusty one I had in my album.

Found: 1 penny (at the Shell)
