Fair point. Let's assume on this thread that "worth" meant "worthwhile for fun" and not necessarily worth a considerable monetary gain.

What do you guys make of the lines along the bottom of the semicircular window? Is that basically just like the lines along the bottom of the doors, but in a different place? I am setting them aside for now.  Also ran across a pretty long die dent (or maybe a minor planchet flaw, I will need the real scope for this one):

Nice die dent! Window looks normal to me.   Relooking: If anything, perhaps the right / inside of window should be looked at closer. Bottom looks normal

I think you're probably right there. I will clean out that pile later, I threw a few of the right side doubling specimens in there, too. Thanks! =)

After powering through about 1200 nickels—over three full $20 trays—I ended up with about two rolls of doubled letter nickels. Apart from that, I found a couple doubled semicircular window nickels and a pair of nickels with long die dents. No die clashes or other strange errors of note.
I'm quite happy to have condensed 30 rolls of nickels down to 2 rolls. Thanks everyone for your advice and help! =)

Nice that's some fantastic downsizing! I'm still looking for the coin I promised you, may have given it to someone else already.  I'll find some goodies regardless to send to you though. Something good did come out of this for me too. While looking for the coin in question, I cleaned up two coin areas that were out of control.
