The Goal: 25,000 Rolls Of Nickels (All Searchers Welcome!)

Great finds!

Great find pound_foolish!

Wow! Congratulations pound_foolish! The Holy Grail of Jefferson nickels!

Sure, once I come down off the key date high!

The 23P DDRs are ridiculously numerous and frequent. I'll have to dig out the scope. We have found probably 10 of the attributed DDRs if not more and it's comical how many we can accumulate in a hunt.

Full disclosure, my 7-year-old daughter found the 50D yesterday and she's super keen, telling me she thought we would find the 44D first (that's our last hole to fill in the primary album).

I haven't kept accurate records of this particular album, which we began filling about 18 months ago, I will say we have probably been through well over 250,000 nickels. Three 39Ds, three 43Ds and two 39S among them (plus one each of the 38D and 38S).

This box has given up a 37P Buffalo too. But we have suffered thru some real dud rolls the last few months. One specific Wells branch continues to get good circulated boxes while the rest are more miss than hit with circulated boxes and rolls. And one of my dump branches has cut me off entirely &

Good things do happen, occasionally!

Thanks guys. I kinda feel like Inigo Montoya after he avenges his father in The Princess Bride. BUT we have the pesky 44D, and who knew that would be the lone holdout?

The last box seemed like it might have been part of a collection dump save for the fact that not a single S mint was in it. But so many dates were in there, and lots of D mints. AND 4 silvers.
