Golf & More

Today was my company's annual golf day. It was great fun. We only played nine holes this year and it went much quicker. We finished in time to have a fun dinner together. My team didn't win, but we did get a $10 Dunkin' Donuts card to share amongst us for getting the most balls in the water. Perhaps next year will be my year.

I got a few coins from four banks on my way to the course.

Twenty large dollars didn't produce anything.

561 halves turned up some good stuff. I got most of them at one bank. When they brought them out I saw rolls with writing on them, "1967," "1968," etc. Boy, did I have a good feeling with those dates on them. I got forty-nine 40% silver halves (22 x 1967, 12 x 1968D, 15 x 1969D), one proof half (2002S), and two mint set halves (2003P, 2003D). The greedy coin hunter in me, immediately thought, "where are the rolls marked '1964' or 'Franklins?'" I always want more silver coins, I guess. That was a great find.

160 quarters and 200 nickels didn't yield anything.

2,550 hand rolled pennies turned up nine Wheats, fourteen Canadians, and one US dime. The Wheat varieties were:

1909, 1944, 1945, 1950, 1953D, 1957, 1957D(2), 1958D

Found: 1 penny
