Unbelievable! Must've been a collection dump mixed in with normal stuff. I opened the other rolls (10 in total) and found the following: 2 more Buffalos (1920, 1926 - both with barely legible dates), a 1943-P Warnickel in XF (still had luster), 47, 54-D, 56-D, 58-D, 59-D (3), 69-S and a 2009-D. See Pic attached. Not only that, I opened 20 rolls of cents and found 17 wheats (see other pic). In all of my many years of CRH-ing, this is one of the better days. The final pic is the whole bunch together.

Great face-value discoveries! V-nickels are really hard to find!
Rest in Peace

I've had amazing results with wheat pennies the last few months. I go to a local Bank of America and clean them out of any customer rolls normally once a week. They hold them for me so they don't have to ship them out to loomis. This week scored over 150 wheats in $20 of pennies. Had similar results about 2 months ago, both had same wrappers wondering if it's from the same hoard. Found a few 1909 wheats too. Also found a few original bank wrapped rolls of early 1980S cents, no rare errors unfortunately.

Wonderful finds, especially since it's from a bank wrapped roll!

Hi. I was unable to get back to that branch until today. I will post later what I find, once I get a chance to open the rolls after work today (10 rolls of nickels, and 20 rolls of cents). I am salivating just thinking about them....

If I get similar results, I might try asking the tellers if I may purchase a full box of each.

Well, unfortunately, lightning did not strike twice. Perhaps my inability to return to that bank branch for several days was to blame.

But it wasn't a total loss, though. For nickels, nothing particularly old, but here is what I kept (I keep nickels with dates prior to 1960, if in good shape):

Nickels: one each 1948-D, 1953-D, 1955-D, 1957-D, 1959-P.
Cents: one each 1920, 1946, 1951-S, 1953-D, 7 Canadian cents and one of my strangest finds yet, a 1983 Zambia one Ngwee coin (photos attached). It has a neat looking aardvark on the reverse. That one was in one of two customer-wrapped rolls I got.
