Got 10 boxes of nickels yesterday 5 were 2011 new from the mint. from the other box 5 boxes I got 1 1970 2 2000p 5 George (2x1940,2x1949,1952) 10 1876-1967 (one with rabbit) 19 Elizabeth twelve sided (1953-1962) 41 Elizabeth old effegy (1963-1964) 120 american 1019 99% nickel (1965-1981) 1494 CU NI (1982-2006).
The 1952 George looks greyish like its a different metal then nickel.
I also got a 1981 that looks like some kind of error? The reason iI think this is because it has two small cuts on the edge like the machine stamping the blanks cut two other coins edges out of this one.
Found some foreign money also 20 pence from Britain (2010),20 new zealand (2006),5 cents Barbados (2005) and three others that don't have the country marked on them. Ill try to post a picture later.

The 52 is a different metal,and are usually bluish in colour. If it is missing chrome it is worth a lot so check it closely!!

1952 nickels are chrome plated. If you look at it under sunlight, it will have a bluish colour compared to other coins. I don't think ICCS still certifies nickels with the "missing chrome" comment, because plating errors can be faked.
If you can post a pic of the 1981, it would be helpful. I have a feeling it's just coin roller damage, since a lot of nickel nickels are damaged that way.

Looks like a legit clip - can you take a pic of the clip and the side directly opposite of the clip, just to confirm?

Nice find shaneb! As for me, I got 10 more rolls of dimes, and nothing to be found, so far, 40 rolls of dimes in total and no silver. I had 20 rolls of nickels too, but only 18 nickel nickels, and a 1942 nickel.

Well I don't know who Morgan is, but I am glad they turned in those rolls.
