Error Nickels

Last night after a great Indian meal made by Meg (the same meal she made us just before Henry was born) I searched some coin.

3,720 quarters yielded one silver Washington (1964), three Canadians, one UK 10 pence and one US dime. That's the 60th silver quarter I've found in a roll so far!

The dimes stunk. 1,800 of them didn't produce anything. I did, however, get a silver dime (1964) from a teller at the bank. She also gave me a Snickers bar.

The nickels were much better. In 1,040 nickels I found two error coins! I first found one with a slight clipped planchette and then a few rolls later found one with a small cud on the reverse (about the length of "AMERICA"). I was quite surprised to find two error nickels in one night, especially with such a small batch of them.

The pennies were also pretty good. I searched ~6,050 and found forty Wheats, fifty Canadians, two US dimes, one US nickel (a first for a penny roll) and one Trinidad and Tobago 10¢. The Trinidad and Tobago coin is a first for me. It is worth about 1.6¢. The decent mix of Wheats was:

1917, 1935, 1936, 1937, 1940(2), 1941(2), 1942(2), 1944(2), 1944D(3), 1945, 1945S, 1946(2), 1948, 1948D, 1949, 1951, 1951D, 1952, 1952D(2), 1953, 1955(2), 1956(3), 1956D(3), 1957D, 1958, 1958D



Found: 1 penny (at Home Depot), 1 foreign coin (a Canadian nickel (1 Ni) at Sovereign Bank)
