Oh and I also peeked into the bag of dimes and saw a 1928-S Merc staring at me... hopefully there are more buried, but that's for tomorrow night.

How you can wait with a Merc peeking out is beyond me. You've got some self control!

It was 2 AM and my alarm was set for 6 AM as I had a 7 AM meeting this morning. Not much choice if I wanted to sleep.

So you still up...

Maybe the attached picture will help explain why its easy to sleep, it's what I have left to search after the bag of dimes was searched last night. And I know of at least a 1914 wheat in one bag and a 1918 wheat in another as I saw them through the plastic. I've had those bags for almost 3 weeks now and I have never been able to get to them as the plastic ones are last.

The bag of dimes didn't produce much else, here's the total list.

1 Mercury (1928-S Small Mintmark)
1 pre-1965 Roosevelt (1963-D)

7 Canadian (1968 Silver, 1968 Nickel, 1971, 1974, 1977, 1987, 1995)

Also got 4 quarters and 3 pennies

 

[GMan00001]

Did the other $200 bag of nickels.

At least half of it had been previously searched judging by the fact that about halfway through I had only 1 pre-1960 nickel, the second half was better.

Ended up with
1 - 1944-D War Nickel <--first of this one for 2007

and 19 other pre-1960 Jefferson(1939, 1940(3), 1946, 1947, 1948-S, 1949, 1951-D, 1952-S, 1953-D, 1953-S, 1955-D, 1956, 1956-D, 1957-D, 1958-D(2), 1959-D)

12 Canadian (1965, 1972, 1985(3), 1986(2), 1987(2), 1990, 1993, 1999)

With the 1944-D found, I have completed a set of the silver nickels in 2007 and am now down to 3 nickels left to complete the Jefferson circulated nickel set from circulation in 2007 (1938-Present). Only the 1938-D, 1938-S, and 1950-D are left.

That's awesome about the silver nickels! I have only eight to go, 3 keys 1938D, 1939S, and 1949S, and 5 War time, 1942S, 1943D, 1943S, 1944S, and 1945D. The P War time nickels are quite plentiful here in the northeast, but those D's and S's have been tough to find.

Can't wait to finish the nickels. That'll be a great day and I'll have more time to devote to quarters and dimes.

Sure wish I could find bags. The trash or all these wrappers and boxes is ridiculous!

+++ Found 9 Buffaloes so far this year, last night a box produced two 1925 Buffaloes.

Penny bag #1 done.

decent quantity, pretty good mix.

26 wheat pennies (1934, 1936, 1941-D, 1944(2), 1944-D(3), 1945-D, 1945-S, 1946, 1947-S, 1951-D, 1953-D(2), 1953-S, 1956, 1956-D(2), 1957(2), 1957-D(2), 1958-D(3))

17 Canadian (1967, 1970, 1978(2), 1982, 1984(3), 1987, 1992, 1993(2), 2000, 2001, 2005(2), 2006)

I am going for a roll of each date/mintmark + fill up the folders I have so I have a long way to go to finish the Jefferson nickels as I usually only get 3-5 that I still need from each $200 bag and I still need around 750 nickels. On a more positive note, I am over 88% complete.

Sure wish I could find bags. The trash or all these wrappers and boxes is ridiculous!

It also means the searching goes quite a bit quick since there are no wrappers to open.

Hoo-whee! Your wheat total is staggering GMan. You're averaging seven a day. If you keep it up you'll come close to 3000 in one year!!
