Proofs Galore
Today we had some friends of ours over. We didn't do too much with them, just went out for ice cream, but it was great to have them over. Henry played like a star for them and gave them a big dose of his tricks. Later even though he was pretty tired he was a lot of fun.
This morning and this evening I searched some coin. Four large dollars and eighty-one small dollars didn't produce anything.
With the halves I was hoping for results similar to last weekend's great batch. I didn't think I had much of a chance of replicating that bunch, but I actually came quite close. 8,007 half dollars turned up thirty-six 90% silver halves (1962D, 1963D, 32 x 1964, 2 x 1964D), eighty-one 40% silver halves (8 x 1965, 6 x 1966, 28 x 1967, 24 x 1968D, 15 x 1969D), fourteen proof halves (2 x 1972S, 3 x 1981S, 1989S, 2 x 1991S, 1995S, 1997S, 2000S, 2002S, 2 x 2006S), and twenty mint set halves (2002P, 2 x 2003P, 2 x 2004P, 2 x 2004D, 2005P, 2005D, 4 x 2006P, 2006D, 3 x 2007P, 3 x 2007D). That might be the biggest batch of proofs I've found! The 1997S seems to be one of the tougher proof halves to come across.
400 nickels yielded just four Canadians and one silver plated US nickel.
1,450 pennies produced eight Wheats and twenty-seven Canadians. The Wheats were:
1927, 1935, 1945, 1951, 1951D, 1953, 1957D, 1958
Found: 3 pennies (1 at Costco, 2 at Sovereign Bank), 1 nickel (on a street near our house), 2 dimes (1 at Costco, 1 at Bank of America), 2 quarters (at Sovereign Bank)

Do you know, that's one thing I very much miss here in the UK; "going out for ice-cream".
We have very few places that just sell ice-cream, as traditionally, it's only ever been sold "ready to eat" from mobile vans, or at places like seaside kiosks / fun fairs / events etc., but over there, every strip mall, shopping centre tends to have an ice-cream place.
Do love B&J's Wavy Davey Gravy (sp?)!
I noticed that in the UK and in Europe. Most of the ice cream I bought there was prepackaged, single serving ice cream. I had some decent ice cream in Edinburgh. I found Scottish ice cream to be a lot creamier than most US brands (I'm assuming it is a UK thing). Perhaps that is why you like Ben and Jerry's? It is richer than most ice creams.
Yeah, I think all our chocolate / ice-cream etc. is much higher in sugar than that you find in the US.
Scottish and Cornish foods are well-known for being "extra" creamy too... something to do with their cows and how they make the milk! ;-)
