Alright, well, I finally went to pick my nickels up today, except that they never were ordered.

I got two Brinks boxes. Maybe it's a sign to only do two box hunts for right now.

Either way, I'll probably burn through these tonight, two boxes its light work.

If I hadn't filmed it, no one would believe me. I found a dozen Buffalo nickels in that first box along with a 1955-P semi key date.

About to start box #2 and finish this up.

Two box hunt produced 22 Buffalo nickels, 1 Liberty nickel (1887) and a 1955-P Jefferson nickel

How lucky did I get on these boxes? I am willing to bet that this will never happen again.

I am currently at 254,000 nickels searched

Here is the Liberty nickel that I found. It was an ender unfortunately and you can see the fresh damage across the date. I am thinking it is an 1887. What are your thoughts?

The sorting mat definitely helps speed up the sorting process.

As for the cats, we are down to only Felix. We had gotten the Kitten, named Lemon, for Felix however there were some constant and ever increasing territorial issues with Felix. Well, it turns out the Lemon, who we were told was a she was actually a he. Having two male cats in the same home typically does not work out well and this was no exception. Lemon now lives with one of my wife's friends.

It's amazing how quickly three months flew by without sorting through nickels.

I am going to try this two box a week approach. I much prefer going through 10,000 at a time, but time is something that I don't have right now.

Anyway, here's the video

I'm not much of an error & variety guy, but I did come across this. Looks like the die wasn't aligned on the obverse maybe?

I finally searched the 6,000 nickels that I have had laid out since July 10th. Still searching for the 39-D and 43-D. I found a buffalo and 3 silver War Nickels. Totals and video are below.
