A Night Out
Yesterday morning I searched 8,038 half dollars. They turned up seven 40% silver halves (2 x 1966, 2 x 1967, 3 x 1968D), one proof (1989S), and twelve mint set halves (2 x 1987P, 2004P, 3 x 2006P, 4 x 2006D, 2007P, 2008P). All but one of the silver halves came loose from one bank. I'm glad I made that stop. I had a feeling that silver pickings would be slim so I checked all shiny rims. I'm glad I did and found two I needed 1987P and 2008P. I had gotten the former from a contest, but this is the first time I had found one in the wild. Only about 2.9 million were minted.
Later in day Henry's Nonnie and Pops came over for a quick visit and in the evening his Nana came over to watch him while Meg and I went to friend's birthday party. It was the first time in a while we had been out. Socializing felt strange, but we had a good time.
Found: 1 dime (on the street in Marlborough)

How do you store your coins out of interest? My Father uses these coin collection folders and inserts (below the main item) from WHSmith.
Yes, I bet you feel guilty leaving Henry, but don't worry. All new parents feel that. It's only natural / normal.
I use something similar for my Canadian/Newfoundland coins, but for the US coins I use Dansco coin albums.
The guilt wasn't too bad, it's worse on weeknights because then I miss seeing him entirely for that day. :(
Thanks, I'll have a look in a moment for those Dansco coin albums.
I suppose one thing you could do is get a cheap digital photo clock or key ring like this or this, and load it up with pics. of him. Or if you've got a phone that does video / IPod thing, do videos on that to keep with you.
