I managed to round a lot of coin last week. The rest of the results were so-so with some denominations and pretty good with others.

68 small dollars turned up one mint set dollar (2003D).

8,004 half dollars yielded eight 90% silver halves (1952, 1963D, 6 x 1964), thirteen 40% silver halves (1966, 5 x 1967, 4 x 1968D, 3 x 1969D) and one proof half (1976S).

2,840 quarters produced three Canadians, two Bermuda 25¢, one Guatemala 50¢ and one US nickel. The Guatemala coin is a new one for me.



3,700 dimes rounded up eight Canadians, two UK 5 pence and one US penny.

1,800 nickels had five Canadians (1 Ni) and two Bermuda 5¢. In the batch I also found a new one for me, 2009D.

13,400 pennies whipped up one Indian Head (1888), sixty Wheats (including two Steelies, from two sources), eighty-three Canadians, nineteen US dimes, one Bermuda 1¢, one UK penny and a one paper penny. The Indian Head I found is a bit green, but is really sharp. It is the oldest coin I've found this year. The Wheats were:

1912, 1913, 1916, 1920, 1935, 1938, 1940, 1941, 1941D, 1942, 1943(2), 1944(7), 1944S, 1945(3), 1946(4), 1946D, 1947(3), 1948(2), 1949(4), 1950(2), 1950D, 1951(3), 1952, 1952D, 1953, 1953D(2), 1954, 1955, 1956, 1956D, 1957, 1957D(5), 1958, 1958D



Found: 2 pennies
