Not Bad
Last night while Henry slept (and while he was trying to sleep, as it took a while for him to put himself down) I searched some coin.
115 small dollars produced a mint set dollar (2004D).
The quarters, 2,720 of them, were good. They yielded two silver Washingtons (1944S, 1964), five Canadians and one UK 10 pence. It seems like I've had pretty good luck with quarters lately.
The dimes were also good. I searched 1,350 dimes and in them found three silvers (1918, 1958, 1959). The 1918 Mercury is the second oldest dime I've found. It was odd to find three silver dimes and not have one of them be a 1964.
The nickels were so-so. 2,020 yielded nine Canadians (7 Ni). That's a very high percentage of pure nickel Canadians, but at barely 2x face value, I'd much rather find a War nickel.
I also searched 1,850 pennies. In them I found nine Wheats, fourteen Canadians and one US dime. The Wheats were:
1930, 1934, 1944, 1944D, 1952, 1956, 1956D(2), 1957D
Found: 1 penny (at Sovereign Bank), 1 quarter (at Sovereign Bank)
Redeemed: $16.20
