I Don't Think I Have The Time, Energy Or Motivation!

The thing is, based on the cents I've done, I'm sure there's lots of BU's from the 80's in this. Remember, this stuff is 30+ years old. I really hate the thought of tossing BU coins to the bank counter. I have a ton of really nice BU cents from searching his stuff.

I would love that bottle of nickels to search. I also understand the burnout I have 5 boxes of cents sitting in the spare bedroom waiting for me.

Sift through it for silver and the 50-D, and just cash in the rest imo. Unless you enjoy hanging onto pre-60 nickels, then stash those too

Yea jbuck, I'm just not into the nickels my friend. I do like Buffalo nickels and have quite a few collecting dust, but the Jeffersons just don't excite me. I do have a couple proof Jeff toners that I enjoy, but that's about it.

What can I say? There are certainly a handful of nickels in there anyone of us Jefferson collectors would like to have in 2x2 flips. If it's a choice between all of these ...

1) Take the whole bottle to my bank counter and dump it.
2) Sort though as fast as possible and only look for silver.
3) Sell some lots as unsearched because they truly are.

I don't like any of those choices.
If Thad would count off 40 random nickels at a time and put them in roll tubes, regardless of what silver floats to the top. Just wrap them up without looking too hard.

But silver nickels are just one kind of good nickel. The rest will suffer a little handling coming out of there. No more MS65 plus in there I would guess, but there certainly could be a 1939D in XF yet.

I bet there's 90 rolls in there and some odd coins too.
In a roll, you might get nothing but a roll of common Jefferson's. On the other hand, you could get lucky.

I would put it to bid rather than sell at a set price if you're looking to make some money. Start the bid out at $2.25 a roll and ship up to 15 rolls for priority flat rate small envelope $4.95. Let the high bidder buy 1 or as many as they want at the high bid.
Then offer the next high bidder what's left and so on to the bidder behind No.2.

However, these are yours Thad. Whatever you do is up to you.
People take coins like this to the bank all the time. The coin roll searchers will eventually get them one way or another.

My Jefferson album is 75% empty past 1965, so that jar of coins would be appealing to me
because I could put some weight on the book. I see your problem though, your not the guy for the job,
not your interest. Too bad, lots of people would enjoy being in your predicament.

Maybe you can try to sell them on the forum for face plus shipping.
