More Silver

Today didn't go exactly as we planned. After we postponed our vacation we decided to help my family go through my God mother's stuff. She has to leave her apartment to go into a nursing home. It was a bit sad. We got some dishes, moved some stuff for others, and I got two containers of coins. :) One of the containers had some recent coin and the other had mostly half dollars and some various other goodies. I could see that silver halves were among the stash.

When I got home I checked things out in detail. $189.75 in US coin and over $5 in Canadian money, including $121 in halves, produced fifteen 90% silver halves (1940, 1943D, 1944, 1945D, 1957D, 1964(9), 1964D), one 40% half (1968D), one War Time nickel (1943P), one Indian Head penny (1905), two Wheat pennies (1942, 1954D), and one Canadian 80% silver quarter (1963). It seems strange that there wouldn't be more 40% halves in the mix, but I'm not complaining. I'll cut a check to my aunt for the stash sometime soon.

We also completely finished our back room and moved everything in it! Here's some pictures.
