Nickels ...

Last night after I put Henry down to sleep I searched some coin.

1,640 quarters produced five Canadians and two US nickels.

1,750 dimes yielded one silver Rosie (1953D), five Canadians, one UK 5 pence and one Ireland 5 pence (1993). The Irish coin is pretty cool. It is the second one I've found.

I had my best luck with the nickels. I searched just 960, but found two Buffaloes (1936, 1937), three War Times (3 x 1944P) and one Canadian (1 Ni). I'm not sure what's up with the nickels in 2009. They sure are making up for the quarters and pennies being a bit lacklustre. I've now found seven Buffaloes in February, four of which had dates! These last two are in pretty good condition. The War Time nickels are part of five 1944P's I've found in two days!

I also searched 5,700 pennies. In them were twenty-four Wheats, forty-four Canadians, three US dimes and one US nickel. The Wheats were:

1920, 1929, 1935, 1940, 1941, 1944, 1950D, 1951D, 1952, 1952D, 1953D(4), 1955(3), 1956, 1956D, 1957, 1957D(2), 1958D(2)

Found: 3 pennies (at Costco)
