Just came back from Pittsburgh, Pa.
First day, hit the first bank, got 6 pcs 1966, second day 6 pcs 1966 and 1 pc 1967. I thought I am going to get a lot of Silvers, but no that's all for 4 days. I almost (missed only 1987 P&D) completed my Half Dollars sets until 2002.
Return the unwanted Halfs to other bank, and get Quarters. Got all State Quarter P mints I needed until 2008. Got few of good Washington, missed only 1969P, 1971P, 1968D, 1973D and 1977D.
Next, returned all unwanted quarters to the next bank and get Dimes. Almost (missed only 1968 & 1971) completed my Dime sets until 2008.
Next, returned all unwanted Dimes to the next bank and get Nickles. Almost (missed only 1942P, 1957P, 1938D, 1941D, 1942D, 1950D, 1938S) completed my Nickle sets until 2008.
The rest exchanged to Penny, brought all back home including my parents Penny Jar.
I didn't get any other Silver except Half Dollars I listed above.
I got 2 rolls of 2000P Sacagawea, 2 rolls each of P mints Presidential Pierce, Fillmore and Taylor.
It was well worth it for me, I got lots of P mints that I couldn't get here in California. Only few of them I have to upgrade.

What do you need? I can help you with D mint and you help me with P mint.
My list is very short, all selected (AU) from circulations, and not the expensive coins.

Since in the past I having hard time finding P mints, I hoard the Pennies (Is this the way you spell Penny in plural, I don't want to give you a wrong impression) I got from Pittsburgh. I treated it as rare coins! They are "good bleep lookin" coins! I guess, like if I didn't see it much they are looking good. Like my reporter friend use to tell me when he was send to an Island. The girls didn't look pretty, after 2 weeks, they looks descend, the fourth weeks, they are pretty!
Anybody want some? I meant the P mint coins though.

Sorry Samuel. I did get your e-mail and came back here and wrote down what you needed. I just haven't checked to see if I have what's on your list yet. Looks like you could knock out half your needs with a '68 and '71 mint set! Seemed like I wrote that over and over - LOL!

Scooby, Good that you asked, I need 1964 to 1970 Halves.
No, just joking.
Thank you for asking, my first intention is to help you, but then if you can return the favor.
What I need:
Penny, I haven't updated my finds in Pittsburgh.
Nickel, I need 1938D&S, 1942P&D (non silver), 1950D, 1957 and 2009P&D, 2010P&D. Some are expensive, let me know the price.
Dime, 1968, 1971 and 2009P&D, 2010P&D.
Quarter, 1969P, 1971P, 1968D, 1973D, 1977D and 2009P&D, 2010P&D.
Half, 1987P&D, 2002D, 2003P&D, 2004D, 2005P, 2006P&D, 2007D, 2008D, 2009P&D, 2010P&D.
These are the list I send you, I only need XF to AU. You point it out that I can take care with 1968 to 1971 Mint set, that is true. I am an odd character, I also collects Mint sets (I plan to open in the future). I love collecting (single) coins from circulation or trades. It gives me more kicks. Buying a "perfect" coins is easy, just pay and forget, but getting circulated coins are harder, but gives me more satisfaction. That is why I collects Used Stamps, not new or unused. Besides, like a song, it will bring back the memory where I was when I heard for the first time. As you may be know that I use to live and travel to many places in this world.
Let me know what you need from this part of US.
