Added two Longines Symphonette .999 rounds and a stack of 90%: a Columbus half grading good and heavily cleaned, a dateless D mint SLQ, 5 dimes--2 1835, 1 1857, 1 1901, 1 1944, all well worn; and a nice 1858 o halfdime with a piece missing.
I am an embarrassment to all US numismatists. Several years ago I saw a George IV shilling in a 2x2 dated 1896. I immediately knew it was 1826. But I spent 3 minutes yesterday confirming that the date on the dimes was 1835 and not 1885.

Picked up 16 quarters recently, nothing too special but a 1937 was one of them.

Update: I didn't even realize this, but it turns out the 1961 Philadelphia quarter is actually the proof reverse! Wasn't expecting to see that. For those wondering, the Mint had two different reverse dies for Philadelphia minted Washington quarters at one point - one for proofs and one for business strikes. On 1956 through 1964 Washington quarters struck at Philadelphia the Mint accidentally used the proof reverse die to mint circulation strike coins. The easiest way to tell is the presence of a space between the E and S in STATES, as well as the pronounced leaf pointing towards the A in DOLLAR.

Recently , Weekly when I can, I make a small add of 1 silver coin (like a maple leaf or an ASE) , whatever my LCS has) and ~ 10 silver dimes. I posted this before and I'm not really a stacker as even the junk silver I'm selective in what I take, but over the course of the year it adds up. Yesterday I picked up my usual 1 ASE (2016) and 14 Mercury dimes this time. So far I filled up 1 Whitman blue box and now I'm working on the 2nd.
