Thursday's box of halves.....skunk.....

Monday's box of halves (held over due to Good Friday) yielded....1 x 64 , 2 x 66, 1 x 67, and 1 x 69!!!!

$100 in Cdn Qtrs yield up a few American coins. However 30 rolls of 5 cent contained about 10 rolls of pure Ni. Nothing newer than 1973, some sort of collection dump but the rolls were otherwise mixed dates. Found 3 chrome plated war nickals in the mix but otherwise all Ni. Not sure if they were saved by someone for nickel content or what. The other 20 rolls had just the odd Ni or American nickel.

Correction!! It's a 1964! I thought it was a 1984! Woot!!

Thursday's box of halves yielded.....1 x 68!

Found .03 yesterday, 1 was a copper cent.

The lobby at my bank recently opened. I went in yesterday and asked if they had any halves, they did! I got $800 that came out of the lobby machines but they had rolled them. I prefer to get them in a bag instead of unrolling them but oh well. People must be bringing in stored up coin. While I was there a guy was dumping a large water bottle into the machine, looked like three or maybe four gallons of coins. Anyway, my results:
1x 67
2x 68
1x 69
and some nice NIFC
05P, 06P, 07P, 07D, 08P, 09P, 17P

It was fun to sort halves again!

Friday's box of halves yielded....1 x 63 (what are the odds?)!

What are the odds of this as well?

$10 in halves- found a 1970-D- I think that’s only the second time in my life that I’ve found a 1970-D in the wild!

Also $50 in halves- found a 40% half (1967).

Nice snag!! I think I've only found a couple myself......

$100 in Canadian halves - skunk
$180 in Canadian large “silver” dollars yielded no silver but there was a Souvenir token “good for one dollar in Burnaby New Westminster expires Aug 15, 1973” with the other side referencing 1973 jeux canada games”. It’s not pristine so not worth anything I suspect.

On Ebay they seem to sell for 5-6 dollars apiece. Lucky you.....
