I roll search one box of nickels each week and on the average I find one War Nickel in each box. |

Many, many years ago I used to get one once in a blue moon. But none in the last twenty or so years.

I've never gotten one in my own change, but a guy at work needed a dollar for a soda and only had 30 cents. I traded him the dollar and told him not to worry about it, and I looked at the change he handed me and there was a 44d nickel. Good karma or something.

1964 is everywhere. If they didn't have metal value, I'd pave my driveway with them. I could shovel the '64's from my 55-gallon drum into a wheelbarrow, pour them onto the hot asphalt and level them out with a shovel...    Edited by DNA

I certainly have. I received one at the cafe at work about 2 years ago.

5 or 6 rolls worth. But I have been collecting since 63.

I used to find those and Buffalos in my change when I was a kid... (70s & 80s). It has been at least 5 years since I found a War Nickel in my change though. (I don't roll hunt.) So they are drying up. I don't think I have found a Buffalo since before my oldest son was born... (1991) Heck, up into the 80s, steel cents and 90% coins were fairly common in pocket change. (Common as in you could find a small number inside a year's time.) The only thing remotely close that I still find in change regularly are Wheats. |

That's what me and my dad collected silver quarters and dimes I would almost find one everyday or here that clinging of silver hitting someone's pocket I can't remember the last time I've found silver

I have received a grand total of one from circulation in change, and quite a few from roll hunting. They're almost always worn nearly slick. Quote:
I get tired of finding even the BU 63/64's, which is sad. Every time I get a shiny one I think to myself "Self, you're going to upgrade your '64". And it's never noticeably better than what I already have. How well I know that feeling... :) |

Not yet...
And I think more nickels were made in 1964 then any other year in the history of the nickel (started in 1866)

Got a nice 1943-P a few years ago. AU. Stunned me.
Got two silver quarters in change at a dollar store in a seedier part of town (Philadelphia) two years ago.
