| $100 in Canadian quarters (bought with dumped nickels at a credit union branch I rarely go to). All sorted and wrapped by the Mint's Alloy Recovery Program. So no Ni, no US, no Ag. No reason to open the rolls even. Off to the dump bank. |

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of it's victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busy-bodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." - C.S. Lewis |

$500 in halves: silver skunk, 1 x 2001P, lots of orange toned 1976 and 1992.
But it's worse; I'm now officially p***ing into my own pool. An NF String box packed in April contained many coins that I had marked in March. So now I should start looking to see if any local banks use any other coin service, since all the banks I've bought from up until now have NF String boxes.
But I did dig a 1956D dime yesterday and bought a 1964D quarter from the teller's tray today, my first silver quarter since 1995 or so.

| I'm still sorting two boxes a week, but my finds have been real low since December. I used to find 5-6 per box, but have been averaging only two since then. In May things turned around. If the 8 boxes, I had two that had 30+ coins in them. I hope that June continues with some good finds. |
