Just a quick coin update for now. I'll have to post some good pictures Henry took this evening later.

8,000 halves produced three 90% silver halves (1940, 1958D, 1964D), eighteen 40% silver halves (4 x 1966, 2 x 1967, 9 x 1968D, 6 x 1969D) and three proof halves (1976S, 1994S, 1995S). In the mix I got two mint set halves I needed, 2010P and 2010D.

5,260 quarters had one proof quarter (2006S South Dakota), six Canadians (including a new one for me, 2008 Figure Skating), two Swiss francs, three US nickels, one US dime, one US penny and one Ogunquit Trolley token.

5,550 dimes turned up four silver Rosies (1946, 1950, 1956, 1964), four Canadians, one Bermuda 10¢, two Swiss ½ franc, one UK 5 pence and one Swiss 5 Rappen. The 5 Rappen coin is a new one for me.

3,440 nickels rounded up thirteen Canadians (4 Ni), four Swiss 20 Rappen, one US penny, one Japanese 1 Yen and three Italian 20 Centesimi (one is now my sixth oldest foreign coin, a 1921!). In this bunch I also got two key date Jefferson (1939D, 1955) and a new one for me, 2010P.

7,400 pennies had eighty-one Wheats, sixty-two Canadians and three US dimes. The Wheats were:

1923, 1926(2), 1930, 1934, 1936, 1936D, 1937(2), 1941(5), 1942(3), 1942D, 1944(6), 1945(3), 1946(6), 1947(6), 1947D, 1948(3), 1949S, 1950, 1950D(3), 1951, 1951D, 1952(2), 1953, 1953D(7), 1955(2), 1956D(7), 1957, 1957D(7), 1958(2), 1958D(2)

Found: 6 pennies
