The Results Are In: My Birthday Hunt

Hello all!

I had some great finds in the dollar coin box I hunted today! Also, I went to my LCS and grabbed some coins and some e-z-est coin cleaner (I know it sounds bad, but I was careful, so bear with me!). First off, here is the list of what I found in the dollar coin box: a proof 2009-S John Tyler, a wide rim-near date 1979-P SBA, 2 golden plated coins (found in two rolls one right after the other), 40 NIFCs, and some coins that I have been needing for a long time (Millard Fillmore-D [for the longest time I couldn't find this one, the last circulating coin that I needed for the Presidential dollars, and I only found one in the entire box!], 1999-D SBA, and other years/mints)

As I said before, I also went to my LCS and picked up some deals, here is what I got: a nice 1872 Seated dime for $13 for my type set, a beautiful AU (-makecents-, your going to like this!) 1918 Lincoln Cent with a lamination on the reverse for $10, and some coins I picked out of the junk silver bin (I hunted the entire bin!): G 1918-S half, AU/BU 1961 half, BU 1963 half, F/VF 1936 Half, 1936-S quarter, 1942-S quarter, 1948-S quarter, 1954 dime with pleasing golden toning, 1920-S Merc, and a monster toned 1964-D dime.

About the e-z-est, I had some tarnished coins, some were proofs that I picked out of my LCS's junk silver bin and others. See the before/after pics. I think it worked really well! It only took a couple of seconds. Although it works really well for tarnished proofs, it doesn't work well on copper. See the before and after pics:

Overall, I think I did well! Let me know what you think, enjoy the pics (even though they lack in quality), and have a great day!
