Nickel Roll Searching

I have been through about 11 boxes of nickels total and have found 1 1918 buffalo, one 1896 V nickel, and 9 War Nickels.

I just finished my 3rd box and found 12 War time, 8 buffalo (only a couple were legable), 1 proof, 2 38D and 1 39D in it. Have not got to sort them for hennings or double dies yet. Last box only 1 proof. Have yet to find a "V" yet.

it's really the lack of buffalos that is strange to me. I find varied dates at the same rate (or better) than some other who have posted. I also got the 2 V nickels, many haven't found any. I have 1, ONE, dateless buffalo in 20 boxes. Many of you seem to be getting 1 or more per box

Okay, you guys got my hopes up and I switched from boxes of cents to rolls of nickels. So far, I've gone through 50 rolls of nickels from local banks. Out of these rolls, there have been a half dozen from the 40's. a couple 50's and that's it, the rest are 1960 to date. Oh, there were a couple Canadian nickels and a 1994 Brazil 10 centavos coin mixed in.

Question for the group, my bank gives me both customer rolled coins and bank rolled coins. I prefer the bank rolls, as rolls that customers have turned in to the bank seem to have more "junk" in them. Then again, gems could be found in either group. Anyway, which do you prefer, bank roll vs customer roll?

I'll keep searching.

In this weekends box I found a 43P silver, a full date 1937 buffalo and 15 pre 60's. Only my third box to ever find a buffalo, however, a few months back I found 13 in one box.

Radarcoin,

You will find many. Just take your time. It's a marathon, not a sprint.

I found two Buffalo nickels in each of my last two boxes of nickels. And I am not even halfway through the second box!
