<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KLS8800, post: 1068751, member: 28512&quot;]I never considered keeping track of my finds, but since I went bank hopping (and hopping and hopping) today.&nbsp; My main search was for halves.&nbsp; It was a bust.&nbsp; The only bank that had any ($40) was a bust, but I figured it would be.&nbsp; She was gone a LONG time in the vault, and one of the wrappers was slightly torn.&nbsp; Personally, I think she was gone long enough to check them, but it was just a feeling I got.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So, not to make eight hours of searching banks in two counties a total bust, I got some other coinage.&nbsp; The only problem is that with other coins, I do not know what I am looking for.&nbsp; I am researching that now.&nbsp; I seperated all my coins by denomination then by decade.&nbsp; I seperated the statehood and territory quarters, too.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>What did I learn?&nbsp; Hm.&nbsp; Well, for pennies, three things come immediately to mind:&nbsp; Pennies are filthy!&nbsp; I have about five I have NO idea what the dates are because of something obscuring the face. People hide foreign coins in pennies.&nbsp; I have not seen foreign coins in any other roll, but quite a few in the pennies.&nbsp; Canadian.&nbsp; The third thing?&nbsp; For me, I did not find them as fun as halves.&nbsp; Maybe because halves are easier to see in many ways, silver edge, coin is bigger, so date is easier to read, and really, I find the halves alot prettier.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I have some of my nickels sorted, and I have the pre 1970 here:</p><p>1941x1&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 1948x2</p><p>1952x1&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 1956x1&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; 1959x2</p><p>1961x1&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 1962x7&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; 1964x10&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; 1965x2&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; 1967x1&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; 1968x1&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; 1969x3</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>My pre 1970 dimes:</p><p>1965x4&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; 1966x6&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; 1967x8&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; 1968x4&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; 1969x3</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>My pre 1970 quarters:</p><p>1965x19&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; 1966x5&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; 1967x16&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; 1968x5&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; 1969x4</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Then there are my post 1960&#039;s coins.&nbsp; I have them seperated by decade, but not logged them as of yet.&nbsp; Maybe I will and keep a year&#039;s tally.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So, to all you who do more dealings with coins other than halves, how did I do?&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Happy 2011.&nbsp; Let&#039;s hope we all score &#039;the one&#039; at least once.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
