Finds from 5-9-2008 (road trip of sorts)

[GMan00001]

Was headed to my parents house for the weekend and took Friday off as well. As I was driving stopped by a handful of banks. I would have stopped at more, but my kids get sick of bank hopping so I kept it to a reasonable number.

Ended up stopping at 9 banks along the way. Most had halves in their coin machines, but couldn't sell the partial bags. Have to plan another trip with more cash and some half dollars with me.

For the trip I picked up $128.50 in loose halves (1 - 40% Kennedy (1969-D), 1 NIFC Kennedy (2004-D))

I did manage a few misc full bags as well
1 - $1000 bag of dimes
1 - $200 bag of nickels
4 - $50 bags of pennies


The $1000 bag of dimes wasn't too grand.
2 pre-1965 Roosevelt (1952-S, 1956-D)

10 Canadian (1973, 1974(2), 1976, 1981, 1987, 1988, 1995, 1998, 2005-P)

NOTE: the 1952-S was a first in my lifetime find and one I didn't have in my collection either. Down to 4 to complete the set from all sources and down to 9 to complete the set from only what I found in circulation.

The $200 bag of nickels had
1 - 1943-P War Nickel
1 - 1949-S <-- still needed for my roll of this variety
