I wonder if anyone has checked the progress of this thread towards the goal of 25,000 rolls searched? If I recall correctly, this was the OP's goal, not for the topic. I remember adding the "All Searchers Welcome" when it was moved to the then newly created CRH forum. |

Nice find on the 1923, Brandmeister.
In my experience, any full date Buffalo before about 1929 is a good find.

No Buffalo nickels this box this time, but finding a dated mintmarked Buffalo nickel is pretty nice...  And my last nickel box was not too bad, with the best three finds a semi-key 1942-D, a silver War Nickel 1945-D, an impaired proof 1961, and a possible impaired 1962 proof but not sure about that one   The other nickels were: 1939, 1940-D, 1941, 1946-D, 1951-D (One year off  ), 1952-S, 1953-S, 1954-D, 1956-D, 1957-D x3, 1958-D x2, 1959, and 1959-D x3. Along with five Canadian nickels: 1975, 1978, 1986 x2, and 1999. And I like to collect certain post-mint damage coins to see how people mess with coins and there were three in this box...

Found my 5th 1950-D nickel in my 277th box searched. Not the best example. Coin does look better in hand than in the pictures. I find it interesting that when I started CRH'ing nickels several years ago I was under the impression that the 1950-D was going to be the hardest to find in the wild. However, during that time I found 5 examples. But during that same period I found only 1 example of the 39-D, 43-D, and 44-S. I completed my first set of nickels CRH'ing last fall and am still working on sets 2 and 3.where I need those 3 dates I mentioned.   |

Hmm, where to begin with this last box? Can I say that this was even better than the last box?  Family photo of the majority of the finds:  Here is a rundown of the finds: Three Canadian, 1984, 1996, and 2000, Pre 1960 finds: 1939 x2, 1940 x2, 1941, 1946 x3, 1946-S, 1947 x2, 1947-S, 1948 x4, 1952, 1953-PDS, 1954 x2, 1954-D x2, 1955-D, 1956-D, 1957, 1957-D x3, 1958-D x2, and 1959-D x5... Then two silver War Nickels: 1943-S and 1945-P,  And a proof 2003-S:  A 1964-P with a possible mint error as a copper wedge going through the date (I should make a separate post on just this coin ),  And this is why I hunt nickel boxes, my very first of this date   Unbelievably found this in the very first roll I hunted... |
