John77 Pillar of the Community United States 2929 Posts	Posted 01/28/2024 12:47 pm Believe it or not, yesterday, as I went out on my lunch hour, I stumbled upon ANOTHER nickel hoard at that same branch I got the two hoards early last year... 8 rolls of unmarked nickels produced an almost complete set of 1938-1959 dated Jefferson nickels (including the 1938-D, 1939-D, and 1939-S coins!) sans War Nickels (which may have been pulled as the slots in most coin books/albums have the word "silver" by the dates)... there were also 54 assorted S-mint proof nickels with every year from 1968-1988 represented, along with lone 1990, 1991, and 2000-S coins, and a scattering of 16 BU coins from 1971-1987. The date breakdown: 38, 38D, 39, 39D, 39S, 40, 40D, 40S, 41 (2), 41D (2), 41S LgS, 41S, 42, 42D, 46, 46D, 47, 47S, 48, 48D, 48S, 49, 49D, 50, 51, 51D, 52, 52D, 53, 53D, 54D, 54S, 55D (2), 56, 56D, 57, 57D, 58, 58D, 59, 59D Proofs: 68S, 69S(2), 70S (2), 71S (2), 72S (3), 73S (3), 74S (3), 75S, 76S (2), 77S (3), 78S (2), 79S (2), 80S (3), 81S (3), 82S (2), 83S (3), 84S (2), 85S (6), 86S (2), 87S (3), 88S, 90S, 91S, 2000S There may be a couple of more rolls there from said group... will go there first thing on my lunch hour tomorrow to see if there anymore of these rolls - given that the 39-D was in there, this was likely a complete set of Jeffersons that was broken up and rolled, so the 50-D and 38-S just might still be lurking, along with the other semi-keys (49-S, 51-S, 55) and missing dates... and more proofs, of course... I should also note that the 1939-D, combined with my 2023 finds (starting with a 1950-D on 1/11/23), and the 1943-D from Friday just completed another complete set of Jeffersons from circulation - my 4th since I started doing this in 2016!

AllSeasons Valued Member United States 397 Posts	Posted 01/29/2024 4:59 pm I think I may have found John77's missing War Nickels! Went back to the same branch today (my local branch) and cleaned them out. There were 3 rolls in there that yielded a total of FIFTEEN War Nickels! Plus the 4 that I found previously (most likely from the same person with the same wrappers), that makes 19 War Nickels. That's my first ever silver dump of sorts. Oddly though, all of them are S-minted or P-minted, so they didn't fill any holes for me, but I'll take them any day! Cheers! Report this Post to the Staff

As for me, went and got another batch of 1,000 MWR from my local branch on my lunch hour (nothing more from my Saturday hoard, though I did grab one skunk CWR), and found another 1938-D along with 3 War Nickels (1944-P and 2 1945-Ss), a 1946-S, and an Uncirculated 1952-S amongst 12 pre-60s. I'll probably be wanting to get the other half of that box thanks to my 3 War Nickel haul. CRH Nickeloholic. 1,600,000 nickels searched in eight years! Have found FOUR complete Jefferson sets!
