Decided to try a small road trip this morning to a town about 40 minutes away that I knew if I didn't find any halves I could at least probably buy some bags off the coin machine so it wouldn't be a complete waste.

Well, ended up making 10 stops
Picked up $490 in rolled half dollars, and $288.50 in loose ones. As expected the rolled ones were a skunk. I did manage to find 2 - 1967 Kennedy in the loose ones.

I also picked up:
1 - $500 bag of dimes
1 - $200 bag of nickels
3 - $100 bags of nickels
6 - $50 bags of pennies

which I will start sorting through later tonight. First I have to do my marathon training run for the day, and since Saturday is my long run today is 12 miles.

I'll update later.
