Way to go! THAT is a big score!
A bout a year ago, while I was heavily into searching nickels, I had four rolls of Buffaloes set aside to sell. I somehow got them mixed up in a bunch of rolls I was taking back to the bank, and by the time I realized what I had done it was too late. Seems like possibly another collector made a similar mistake, only a lot more coins involved. Oh well, somebody else's loss...your gain! Congratulations!

Thanks, everyone!
After a little organization, I've managed to compile a tentative list of dates I got. Several of them have really mushy dates that I might be able to figure out without vinegar, but it'll take some time. Here goes:
1913 T1 (No MM, or worn off MM): 15
1913-D T1: 1
1915: 2
1915-D: 1
1916: 2
1917: 2
1918: 3
1918-S: 1
1919: 9
1919-D: 2
1919-S: 1
1920: 24
1920-D: 2
1923: 12
1923-S: 2
1924: 1
1924-D: 1
1925: 16
1925-D: 1
1925-S: 2
1926: 17
1926-D: 1
1927: 20
1927-D: 1
1928: 13
1928-S: 1
1929: 20
1929-D: 5
1929-S: 5
1930: 5
1934: 5
1934-D: 2
1935: 8
1935-D: 4
1935-S: 2
1936: 15
1936-D: 9
1936-S: 1
1937: 3
1937-D: 2
Other finds of interest include a dateless S-mint with a Two Feathers Indian, and a 1925 that has scratches indicating an unfinished hobo nickel attempt.

Thanks. These were all customer wrapped rolls, sort of. This particular bank has it's own coin rolling machine. They've got their own paper and everything.

 wowee wow wow wow! Somebody must have given up their collection and I am glad it has found a good home.
It wasn't that long ago when I thought that 'mint error' meant that something was wrong with my candy.

Congratulation on a true find of our life time.
Now, get some more cash, dump those Jefferson to get some bills, run down there and get all those other boxes of coin they still have in the vault.... cycle through your cash until you get all those rolls/boxes.
Good luck.

That's what I would call a great box of nickels! Congratulations!
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

There may be treasures yet to be found in the dateless pile too! I've cherry-picked more than one dateless 1921-S.  Also, look for the 1916 doubled die which can be identified dateless, and any D marked dateless for a die crack on the cheek - those could be the 1918/7. Edited by CaptainFwiffo
