Im sure this has been asked about a hundred times but what was you best find ever in CRH? Follow up I've search 5 boxes of nickels so far but no buffalos and only 4 War Nickels. Is this normal or bad luck? Thx in advance! *** Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. *** |

You have some pretty good luck! Do you check for doubled dies or RPMs?

For me that's pretty bad luck. My last nickel box had 2 2009's, 3 buffaloes, and 3 War Nickels. Typically nickels are very good for me. Best find is maybe a the IHC in my signature. I think my favorite was the 1920 buffalo. I've found a couple impaired proofs too which are always a nice surprise. Silver is fun as well. |

Well I have had quite a few good finds all via member rolls of halves....but my best one was about a month ago I bought $30 in halves and $20 of it was all 40% halves. Not a bad score. Hoping to do well on 4 boxes tomorrow after work.

Nickelfinder, I asked if you searched for errors, not jubuck. Lol. You really should check for those though.

Jbuck is good at tracking down related threads. For some reason I have trouble tracking some of my old posts. Gotta keep him on speed dial.

If I have to go with 1 best, I'd probably say a box with 214 Franklins. My best single coin find is impossible for me to say. In contention for various "best" categories would be a 3 cent nickel, a bunch of V nickels in a box, 300+ 40%er box, rotated die (1988 Kennedy), 1864 IHC, 1909VDB, 1864(I think) 2 cent piece, and others. I could name any one of those "best" for different reasons. I guess it's hard to say which is "best" because the criteria is so subjective.. |
