Looks Like We Made It!

Henry and I survived our man night. While Meg was at her sister's bachelorette party, we went to Cioci Nicole's house for BBQ'd steak and corn on the cob. I screwed up a bit and forgot Henry's bottle on our kitchen counter ... Ugh. Henry also rolled over twice for his Aunt. When we got home it was a little difficult to get him to go to sleep, but not too bad. When we got up we watched Man vs. Wild like most Saturdays and waited for mom.

I did some coin hunting while Henry was sleeping. Six boxes of halves produced! It seems like a while since I've gotten some decent half dollar boxes. 6,000 halves yielded eleven 90% silver halves (1940, 1941, 1951D, 1954, 1956, 1963D, 5 x 1964), nine 40% silver halves (2 x 1965, 1966, 3 x 1966, 2 x 1968D, 1969D), and six mint set halves (2003P, 3 x 2003D, 2004P, 2006P). Still looking for a 2008 half. Those Walkers and Franklins were the first ones I have gotten from this source.

Found: 4 pennies (2 at Bank of America, 1 at Hannaford, 1 at The Big Y)

I have extras of the 2008 p and 2008 d. If you want to trade... i need 2003 and 2006 Ps assuming you have extras.

I've been avoiding trading or buying US coins, so as not to spoil the joy of finding them, etc. I looked at my extras, however, and I do have those. If you want to trade something Canadian or foreign for them let me know.

Nice haul from the boxes! I got excited over the weekend when I found 8 dollars of loose halves locally (which usually returns nothing at all) and they returned a 64 and a 68D. Still unsure of my wife's reaction if I go out and get a $500 box... :)

Good luck searching!

Dan,

Not bad. It's always worth asking.
