I figure it's been a bit, and I have quite a few coins found since my last update. Since the last update I've done two full boxes of nickels now (and probably two boxes worth of extra rolls), a box or so worth of dime rolls, at least two boxes worth of halves loose and in rolls, and a few boxes of pennies.
I've also had a couple friends give me some coins to add to my collection - one gave me some Rupees from a past trip to India, another spent a month visiting family in Spain and brought me back around eight Euros (one of the 2 Euro coins is a 10th anniversary of the EMU which is now one of my pocket pieces), and another visited London for research and brought back 86 pence for me.
On to the pictures.
In $25 loose last week, I found $6.50 in half dollars dated 2009, including two I think might be grease-filled dies, one P and one D mint. These are the best pictures I could get of the two:
My most recent box of pennies brought me several nice coins, including some BU and bright red 40s and 50s wheat cents (I got three 1946-S in the box). However, what I like best are these two coins - a 1922-D and an 1886
IHC.
The 1886
IHC is a type 2, though it's pretty much impossible to tell without a loupe and holding the coin.
The Euros and UK loose change, both what my friends have given me and what my hunting has found for me - I particularly like the new coat of arms reverses and am glad my friend brought me a couple coins with it.
A look at everything I've acquired this summer:
The rolls are where I'm storing most of the U.S. coins. I have a few full rolls - one of S-mint LMCs, one of S-mint nickels, and one of NIFC halves. I've also nearly filled a roll of wheats, and several more rolls filling fast of nickels and pennies and now another roll of NIFC halves nearly complete.
And lastly, the silver. Two silver dimes, two 90% silver halves, seven
War Nickels, and ten 40% halves.
Oh this has been fun. And I still have another month and a half before school starts again.
