I have good news and bad news.  Quote:
First, the good.
Some of you may know that I'm a high school senior. Recently, a freshman who's also in the band has expressed an interest in collecting and come to me for some guidance. He's hunted a couple boxes of nickels, and on Monday he showed me this beautiful 1929-S, which he pulled from his very first box. Not only that, but it has a nice lamination visible on both sides of the coin, which he though was just damage until I explained it. I snapped a couple of quick pictures on my phone, so it's a bit hard to see, but they're there.
Very nice! Quote:
Now the bad news.
The lamination peel on the reverse, which was still attached to the coin, broke off in his finger.
Oh my!  |

Went through our weekly box and it was a milestone one! First, this one was an ender:  First Buffalo ender for us.  Then, we struck silver:   The rest of the box was a little slow. 4 Canadian Nickels, 16 older Jefferson's. A few San Francisco nickels, 48S and 54S, as well as a 2009D. Finally, we hit the last roll, and this was what spilled out:  Our first V nickel! A little over 46 boxes searched.  We were super excited! |

Quote:Our first V nickel! Fantastic! Seeing all these excellent coins makes me want to keep hunting. I haven't done it in a while since I don't have a lot of time, but I guess I just need to make some. |

Tonight's box yielded a 1945D and a 1968 Canadian upgrade.
With this silver nickel, we have hit a new milestone: 450 silver nickels collected from CRH.

I'm sure it was exciting to see the Buffalo on the end of the roll.

I haven't had too much luck lately, and the finds upthread are great. But here are mine: a few lower-mintage Jefferson nickels: 1942-D, 1949-S, and 1951-S (with a lamination issue on the obverse).   |
