Wow. I didn't think I would get many coins on this trip but it really surprised me how much I got for my collection. The first thing is yesterday the auction for the benefit of the YN's/benefit of Summer Seminar scholarships. It happened here in Colorado Springs, CO and was fun. I ended up bidding on lot #112 which was title "Cheerios Money". This lot was made for me! Here's the description  the YN's wrote for it: "This lot has everything except a box of Cheerios. In this lot, a 1954 $1,000 Confederate note from a Cheerios box is accompanied by a Cheerios Cent, one of the first 10 million Lincoln cents minted." I literally had no idea there was a 1954 $1,00 Confederate note that came in Cheerio boxes but here I am. I won it for $40. I also got donated a 2006-S Clad Colorado Quarter, NGC sample. These sold for $60 a piece at the auction and is really cool.. All the YN's who participated all got something donated to them. (I was not participating in Summer Seminar though, just my brother).

I had posted earlier that I found two W quarters, a New Hampshire quarter with a hole in it, an American Samoa NP quarter with a cud on the mintmark, and three circulation strike S mints, Great Sand Dunes, Tallgrass Prairie, and a Sally Ride. I don't think I told you about this but I was also gifted a 1971-D "Ike" dollar and a 1922 Peace dollar. I also went to the Book Sale they had at the Money Museum and got a 1965 Red Book which I thought was cool. The final thing I wanted to share was the 1772 silver Ike dollar I got for doing the scavenger hunt at the CoinXWest show. Tomorrow will be the banquet for the end Summer Seminar which is where I will get the award for the YN literary award.

Thanks for reading my blog and have a great day!
