Here are my totals for 2013. This was my first year of collecting and I had a blast! I didn't start until around March so it's only been about 10 months. And all of these are what I found at work plus just one box of pennies that I picked up at the bank. Pennies: 403 Wheats: 291 P's, 100 D's, 12 S's Oldest wheat: 1914 1 Steel 1 Indian Head: 1904 1959P: 47, 1959D: 26 Nickels: 1 Liberty Nickel: 1883 No Cents 2 Buffalo's: 1937, dateless. Pre 1960 Jeffersons: 125: 81P's, 36D's, 8S's Oldest Jefferson 1939P(13) I don't really save all the pre 60 nickels I find anymore because I see so many, it would start to get costly. Silver Totals: War Nickels: 6 Mercury Dimes: 1 Roosevelt Dimes: 8 Washington Quarters: 7 90% Halves: 1 40% Halves: 2 Copper Pennies: About 20 pounds. I've had plenty of other great finds such as toned coins, proof quarters, and errors but I don't feel like typing all of that out. It's been a great year first year of collecting and I can't wait to see what I find this year. Feel free to post your totals. Happy New Year and Happy Hunting!
