New boxes, war silver, and buffalo nickels

I started out the morning getting up early for fried pancakes.  Oh man they were good.  Got to see some old friends and we all had a good time.  Thanks Danny!  I think Samuel was just excited to walk around in the mud down by the river and catch a frog.  After that, it was time to hit the banks.  Turns out that banks don't accept foreign coins - so the teller gave Samuel a bunch.  He was so excited.  Then Jane dropped off her quilt at a friend's quilt store for a contest.  Yummy Mexican food was next on the agenda.  Then it was time for back-to-school shopping.  This was Clarissa's first year for this so she had a blast picking out her own crayons, glue, paint and stuff.  Everyone had a great time.

8 rolls of nickels
1939
1944-P
1936 buffalo nickel
Remember that dateless buffalo from a while back?  After soaking in vinegar, turns out it is a 1916.

8 rolls of pennies
1999 Canada 1-cent
46 pre-1982 coppers
I also found a fully red 1968-D - it's a duplicate, but I'm still keeping it, just because it is so gorgeous.
