Finds from 5-12-2008 through 5-14-2008

[GMan00001]

Stopped at my 2 typical weekly stops as well as stopping to cash in from this past weekend.

At weekly stop #1 I picked up
1 - $200 bag of nickels
4 - $50 bags of pennies

At weekly stop #2 I picked up
1 - $1000 bag of dimes
6 - $50 bags of pennies

And while cashing in rejects from this past weekend I filled the bin of the self serve coin machine and asked if I could get the rejects from the reject bucket inside the machine. The teller said sure and allowed me to clean out the bucket. This netted me the following:
2 US pennies and
10 Foreign:
France, 1 Euro Cent (1999(2), 2000, 2004, 2006),
Germany, 1 Euro Cent (2002-F),
Ireland, 1 Euro Cent (2002, 2005),
Singapore, 5 Cents (2005),
South Africa, 10 Cents (2004)

Also collected 1 dime and 1 penny off the floor around the machine while I was waiting.

So far I have only managed to get through the $200 bag of nickels and 1 - $50 bag of pennies

The nickels had:
1 V-Nickel (1910)

1 - 1943-P War Nickel

Finally...finally a 1910 wheat penny....I have been expecting to find this variety for a long time as it was by far the highest mintage wheat I had never found.

Notes: The 1910 Wheat, 1961 Roosevelt, and 1951 Canadian dime were all first in my lifetime finds for those varieties.

For 2008 I am now at:
98 of 142 wheat varieties (lifetime at 116)
155 of 161 Jefferson nickels (standard circulation issues only) (lifetime at 161)
29 of 48 pre-1965 Roosevelt dimes (lifetime at 40)
