Here's a picture from Easter. There's more to come.



Last night I searched 200 quarters, 200 dimes and 80 nickels. I didn't find anything in them.

To supplement these few rolls I searched four boxes of pennies, 10,000 coins. In them I found fifty-five Wheats and eighty-four Canadians. The Wheats were:

1920, 1924S, 1936(2), 1937(2), 1940, 1941D, 1942(2), 1944(5), 1945(2), 1945S, 1946(6), 1947, 1948(3), 1949, 195??, 1950, 1951, 1951D, 1952(2), 1952D, 1953(2), 1953D(2), 1954, 1955D, 1956(6), 1957, 1957D(4), 1958(2)

The 1924S is only the second one I've found. Only 11 million were minted. This is one is a good upgrade to the one I had in my album.

Found: 2 pennies (1 at White Hen Pantry, 1 at McDonald's), 1 foreign coin (a Canadian dime at Stop & Shop)

Wow thats a lot of pennies, I have done some halves, not a ton, had some limited success, are you finding any 2009 pennies in there yet?

I haven't found any, but I've seen that they go for alot on line. Hope I find some before the hype is over. I would love to turn a $25 box of them into big cash. I find it hard to believe that any modern coin would have mintage so low to really command the money people are getting for them.
