Yeah! I finally completed transforming the back room in our house from a tired, gross carpeted, purpled walled 1950's TV room into a pleasant playroom/guest room. It sure took a while to get done with this parenting thing. ;) Henry even watching me paint the last bits and put the fixtures back up while he hung out in his exer-saucer in the middle of the room. Now we just need to clean the floors, put in the rug, and move in the furniture. Henry and Meg will have a safe place to hang out during the day now.

Unfortunately our mini-vacation was postponed by one day. We don't want to go Cape Cod right now with the storm approaching. It should be fine later.

The silver gods made up for the extension of our staycation with some silver!

I searched 6,000 halves, six boxes, and found a whole lot of good stuff! Sweet. The boxes produced twenty-three 90% halves (1921, 1941, 1942D, 1943, 1945S, 1946D, 1950D, 1951S, 1952, 1953(2), 1958, 1958D, 1959, 1963(2), 1963D, 1964(4), 1964D(2)) and twenty-one 40% silver halves (1965, 1966(5), 1967(8), 1968D(4), 1969D(3)). That's five new varieties in one day. The 1921 is one of my best finds. It is worn, but only 264,000 were minted. It is definitely a key in the series as it is the second rarest by mintage. The 1946D isn't too bad either as only about 2 million of those were minted.



I had a decent find in the two boxes of dimes, 5,000 coins, as well. They produced two silver dimes (1943D, 1960D). The 1943D is the first album filling dime I've found in 125 days!

Found: 1 penny (at Bauhina's)
