I picked up $270 in loose halves from my bank and got a nice handfull of silver PLUS an 1801 large cent!!
I got 2 1954 halves, one 1964 JFK and 17 40%ers and a 1988-S NIFC
The large cent is in fair to AG condition. The only way to read the date is a faint 01 down where the date should be. This is by far the oldest coin I have found. My oldest before this one was a 1912 Barber dime. I skipped right past to ever finding an Indian to finding a Draped Bust cent!
As soon as I figure out how to take a good picture, I'll try to post a pic.
Very nice!! 
I love those old coppers!!  |

$250 in Dimes...
Grabbed my first box of dimes today from one of my source banks on a whim today and I found:
1- 1964-D (90%, My first Rosie out of a roll!) (Bank A)
1- 1979-S (Proof, clad)
Definitely will be ordering more dimes in May and continue in the fun...
I have no clue why I didn't start searching dimes sooner! :)
