Hey Art. You have been busy.

Nate and I are still sorting our totals. We have about as many only they are from the last 2.5 yrs.

Your coins look clean. Ours are pretty cruddy. They get that red stain on them or a nice black coating. It's taking us a while because we have to use a tumbler to clean them up. Then sort and roll. Almost done.

What an eye-popping haul! Very nice photos also, shows the expanse of your finds very well. We rolled up my 05 finds and spent them already, but my '06 finds are steadily piling up. The end of this year, I'll post a pic like yours.

VERY NICE!

Hey Headhunter, I use a rock tumbler to clean them before I take them to a bank. Just use a little liquid detergent and a few hours in the tumbler usually gets them clean enough where I don't get dirty looks from the bank teller. Don't mix your coins either, Dimes and quarters is OK because there clad. Pennies by themselves and nickel by themselves.? And make sure you check them for key dates before you put them in the tumbler. Keep in mind that I only do this for current change. HH Art...
