Things have been very busy here so it has been tough to find time to post. I'll have to put up some pictures tonight. We've got some good ones.

95 small dollars had nothing.

8,020 half dollars turned up two 90% silver halves (1964, 1964D), eleven 40% silver halves (2 x 1965, 6 x 1967, 2 x 1968D, 1969D), three proof halves (1971S, 1976S, 1981S), one commemorative half (1986D Statue of Liberty), one UK penny (1964), one South African Rand (1975), four Mexican 10 Pesos (1978, 1980, 2 x 1981), a British Caribbean Territories 50¢ (1955), one Irish pound (1990) and one Dominican Republic ½ Peso. It was cool to find a new commemorative, especially one for which I had found multiple proof copies of, and I have never found this many foreign coins in half dollars before.











15,480 quarters produced one silver Washington (1964D), thirty-six Canadians, two car wash tokens, one arcade token, one US penny, three US dimes, three UK 10 pence, thirteen US nickels, three Bermuda 25¢, one Greek 2 Drachma (1984) and one Barbados 25¢.



9,700 dimes yielded ten silver Rosies (1947, 1956, 1957, 1958D, 1959, 1963, 2 x 1964, 2 x 1964D), twenty-three Canadians, one Norway 25 ore, one Bermuda 10¢, one UK 5 pence and one East Caribbean States 10¢.

6,200 nickels rounded up three War Times (1942S, 2 x 1945P), fourteen Canadians (5 Ni), one Euro 20¢, one Bermuda 5¢ and one US dime. One of the Canadians was a 1929 George V nickel. That's the oldest Canadian nickel I've found.



15,400 pennies turned up ninety-one Wheats, one hundred seven Canadians, one UK ½ penny (1974), two UK pennies, four US dimes, one Euro 2¢, one Bahamas 1¢, one Barbados 1¢ and two Bermuda 2¢. That's only the second ½ penny I've found!

1910(2), 1913, 1914, 1917, 1917D, 1924, 1925, 1929, 1935(2), 1939(2)
