Cross Border visit to a Bank of America:
6 rolls dimes and two rolls of 1/2s. No silver, not even a Canadian dime from a bank within sight of the border! |

When on a penny run and picked up $50 CWR and some boxes.
After a year sorting I found my first box of new pennies, 2008-D.
Found my 5th Indian, a nice 1889 (2nd of this date).
A marked 't' or 'X' on a 1991 penny.
And a Very Scary $10 of CWR rolls that have no Coppers in them, so I think I may have company.
Still holding 27% in Michigan. |

sorted $95 in cwr's as well as a few 5 gallon buckets.
I was surprised at the wheat percent. Not sure of the exact percent.
according to the ryedale counters, I got 30.00% tonight.
I found an AU 1969 JFK facing lincoln tonight, there is no glue on the back from the card.. This is my second one of these that I have found.
I also dropped an indian head into the unsorted bucket and found it hoping it could find a buddy down there, unfortunately I'm still looking for my first IH. |

Picked up $10 in plastic Brinks rolls from my main bank today, and Monday and Thursday of last week, and from my secondary bank on Wednesday... still not a copper in the lot.
Got another $30 in CWRs from drive-bys, which averaged out to 15% |
Considering Verizon Business service? Perhaps you'd like to consider a nice drain cleaner enema instead? |

It is hot and humid here today, and I have really fallen behind on my sorting. So, I sorted a little today. A little break down.
C.U. bags (4)
$65 4467 Cu 69%
$50 3238 Cu 65%
$50 1194 Cu 24%
$112.50 3013 Cu 27%
$277.50 11912 Cu 43% Total
CWR
$100 2549 Cu 25%
$100 3244 Cu 32%
$200 5793 Cu 29% Total
Grand totals for the day.
$477.50 17705 Cu 37%
If I could get the rest of my pile sorted that would be great. At least I got the pile knocked down a little bit. Many boxes to go....

Every little bit counts. Someday I will have to look through the coppers for any wheats or other goodies. In the above totals I did get a nice '21 King and some older wheats in the rejects. I'm a zinc-first-pass-followed-by-a-copper-pass guy. Works well for me. Except in the Indian category.... Keep up the steady pounding. Are you able to sort at will again?
