Hello All!

Wanted to share my finds of the day... This morning, I contemplated opening a 2000-P Sac Mint Roll and returning them for my buy a 1909-S VDB fund...LOL

And so I opened them, looked for some errors, cheerio dollars..the usual. Well, I enjoyed them a lot, so I decided to go to the bank and see if they had any small dollar rolls.

Returned with $250 in small dollars and $40 dollars in halves.

No Cheerio Sac's, but I think I found two RARE coins... the mysterious "GREEN HALF", LOL



Green-Halves,-Odd-Tones,-And-Wide-Rims....oh-My!

Then I found a really odd Sac, it almost looks like 1/4 of the coin has toned to the color of a quarter... The pictures don't really show how clear of a divide it is between silver and gold, but here is some pics... It was a circulated roll, in the middle, so the toning I don't think is a result of being an end coin.. what do you think?

But the best find of the day... a full roll of 1979-P Suzy B's!
In it, were two good finds...

1. An uncirculated, nicely starting to tone 1979-P, crisp well struck example (seen on the right)

2. Wide Rim SBA! (on the left)

You know what the funny thing is... I had one saved, that I was certain I had a wide rim. When I saw this one, I was like.... OHHHHHHHH so thats a wide rim! LOL... the old one was clearly not wide, and got tossed!

Weird. I too, found a roll of 79 P SBA dollars this week with exactly one wide rim and one nicely toned. Interesting. Congrats!
