200,000 Halves Searched

Last night I passed the 200,000 mark for half dollars. Unfortunately it was with a whimper. 12,000 halves produced just one 90% silver half (1964) and four 40% silver halves (1966, 1967, 2 x 1968D). Because the silver was so slight I took a bit more time to check out the newer rims that were showing, and so I found eighteen mint set halves (3 x 2002P, 3 x 2003P, 3 x 2003D, 2004P, 2004D, 2 x 2005D, 3 x 2006P). Let's hope next week is better. That was a lot of work for little gain ... and I still have to get rid of them!

I also searched 5,000 dimes (two boxes). In them I found two silver dimes (1940, 1954). The 1940 is a new one for my album.

I've also decided to make more of an effort to get at more small dollars. I order a box of them, but they were all brand new ones. I also turned up five small dollars and one large dollar at a bank. Nothing good was in them.

Today I'm going to start our attic insulation project. First up is some demo. Before I can do that I need to go to Home Depot. Henry and I are going to buy a crowbar.

Found: 2 pennies (1 at Burger King, 1 at Sovereign Bank)
