I looked through 4 cents, 1 nickel, and 3 dimes.

Two of the cents were copper.

So, about that $5 star I mentioned last time... It turns out it's not that big of a deal. It was from a run of 3.2 million (not that low for a star), and its serial number isn't all that low (IF00011301*). It grades relatively nice EF condition (2-3 light folds) but has graffiti on its left side.

However, this note has convinced me to start searching notes again, so I think I'll start with one-dollar bills.
Today's batch of 30 provided me a Series 1995 note: I73157146H, G-VG condition. It is in somewhat ragged shape, but I guess that can be expected from a dollar bill made in May of 1998 (Source: www.uspapermoney.info ).

As of right now, I'm somewhat haphazardly putting together a block set of $1 FRN's that I find in circulation, but I'm only taking the ones that are in nice EF condition, else it's too easy of a set and expensive!

Since last posting, I searched through 10 cents, 1 dime, and 8 quarters.

Three of the cents were copper.

I also found a $5 star a couple days ago; I'll write more about that next post.

Nothing much...

Haven't looked through much lately.

3 pennies, 1 dime, and 3 quarters turned up nothing new.

However, I did receive the following Canadian coins from someone on Coin Community:
Cents: 1928, 1932, 1933, 1936.
Quarter: 2007, Biathlon. 

Ack, Time!!

Yeah, no time.. Same ol', same ol'..

Since last writing I've looked through 6 nickels, 1 dime, 12 quarters, and 1 small dollar.

The dollar was one I needed: 2011-P.

I also got the 2009-D LP3 Lincoln cent through the mail! Thanks to the donor!

Several new quarters.. One month to go!

College is still with me, but only for a month yet! However, before I can experience all the joys of Christmas vacation, I must first go through final exams....and three exams this week. Ugh.

Since last writing, I managed to search through 2 cents, 3 nickels, 17 dimes, and 87 quarters.

In the quarters were four new dates: Wisconsin-D, District of Columbia-D, Northern Mariana Islands-P,  and Yellowstone-P. There was also an upgrade for my 1998-P.

I also found a couple Canadian coins, one of which was the 2005-P dime I needed.

Finally another post!!

I've been too busy lately with college to post the latest searches, but I've found some time this morning!

The latest search consisted of 8 cents, 10 nickels, 16 dimes, 15 quarters, 1 half, and 39 dollar coins.

There were 6 copper cents.

Of the group of dollar coins, there were four dates I needed: William Henry Harrison-P, James K. Polk-P, Andrew Johnson-P, 2011-D. I really wish more of the newer Indian dollars would circulate. I like their designs better than those of the Presidents.

Speaking of dollar coins, I started a new Petition on the White House's "We the People" website. It's to try to help end the production of the paper dollar. I don't expect the government to really do anything even if I do get 25,000 signatures (isn't that sad?), but I guess you never know...

What do you think? Would the dollar coin be an improvement over the dollar bill? Personally, I know they are much easier to use in vending machines and the like. Maybe they could use a different design and more sturdy color, but I'll take what I can get!

Some new quarters.....

Since last writing, I looked through 10 nickels, 15 dimes, and 138 quarters.

One of the nickels was a new Canadian date I needed: 1993. This coin is nice and shiny without the scratches on the reverse I usually see on Canadian nickels for whatever reason.

There were a bunch of new quarter dates: 1976-D, 1985-D, 1994-P, Delaware-P, Kentucky-P, Louisiana-P, Arkansas-P, West Virginia-P, Idaho-P, Alaska-P, Mount Hood-P, Olympic-P. There were also 4 upgrades: 1979-D, New Jersey-P, South Carolina-P, and Oregon-P.
