A carpet rake? Are shag carpets coming back en vogue?

Well, I have been too busy to post since February 11. As I have mentioned before, I also hand out $2 bills and with our large amounts being handed out, I have exceeded the remaining amount for the current $2 bill challenge. In those last four weeks with the farmers markets and bill paying we exceeded $650 each week. This is even with poor sales thanks to heavy rains some of the time. Among other issues, I lost 40 acres of cropland in the floods, that will now have to be restored at a cost of possibly $150,000 or thereabouts. Life has not been remotely easy lately.

Now switching back to this half dollar challenge, I have handed out $1068 in half dollars in this four weeks. Interestingly in this time I have not seen any silver coins, commemoratives, proofs or coins newer than 2006 in the half dollars. I hope this is not the new normal! Enjoy half dollars!
