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

Went through my 293rd box of nickels last night (bank wrapped rolls). Found 31 pre-1960 Jefferson nickels. Nothing unusual -- no semi-key or key dates found. What I did find across the 50 rolls were 9 V-nickels. I found this highly unusual especially since these were not customer wrapped rolls where I would find someone's collection dump. Since starting CRH-ing nickels, I only ever found 5 V-nickels across 292 boxes. So finding 9 in one box was a big surprise. Also found in this box were 5 Canadian and a single Buffalo (1936) nickel.

The 9 V-nickels: 1898 (1), 1903 (3), 1906 (1), 1911 (2), and 1912 (2).

Wow, spectacular box, tnt!

Fantastic!

very nice War Nickel!! cool find

The yin and yang of roll hunting...

Nice War Nickel TomM. In searching almost 300 boxes, I've only found one 44-S. Still looking for two more for sets #2 and #3 that I'm building. They seem harder to find than a 50-D.

Picked up a 1943-D War Nickel in my usual $20 from the credit union. A few possible WDDR modern nickels, too. Otherwise a rather ordinary batch of nickels.

Found this 1953-D nickel on the batch prior to this one. Really in pristine shape for a 71 year old coin. Curious that the back toned more than the front. I wonder if someone emptied out an old nickel folder?
