Good night

I generally get my pennies $20 at a time... not coincidentally, that's the denomination an ATM gives out.

Anyway, I'm small time, maybe $40-$60 face in a week, total. Thought I'd share how tonight went for me:

$20 Face-

$5.58 Copper US
$1.89 Copper Canadian
11 Wheats
2 King George VI
1 dingy dime

Not anything to write home about (though I am writing to you), but it's a solid night, as far as I'm concerned!... and the kitty litter jug gets a little bit fuller!

That's 38%, including the primo cents that, if you're like me, you toss into their separate jars. Plus the extra dime that gets thrown in with the zincs. Ok, I'm envious. I sorted my nightly box and got my usual 27%, including about 25 cents in wheats and Canadians.

The dime was in rough shape... turned out to be a 1965, but I had to spend all sorts of time to get the "5" to reveal itself... thought maybe I had some silver.

And yes, I do count the Wheats and Georges separately. 27% every night is quite decent!

Found a '43 steel penny today, that was pretty interesting... 2 1910's as well.
