I am surprised Wheezy has not commented yet.

Are you sure you do not want to start a Jefferson nickel set?


What can I say? There are certainly a handful of nickels in there anyone of us Jefferson collectors would like to have in 2x2 flips. If it's a choice between all of these ...

1) Take the whole bottle to my bank counter and dump it.
2) Sort though as fast as possible and only look for silver.
3) Sell some lots as unsearched because they truly are.


I don't like any of those choices.
If Thad would count off 40 random nickels at a time and put them in roll tubes, regardless of what silver floats to the top. Just wrap them up without looking too hard.

But silver nickels are just one kind of good nickel. The rest will suffer a little handling coming out of there. No more MS65 plus in there I would guess, but there certainly could be a 1939D in XF yet.

I bet there's 90 rolls in there and some odd coins too.
In a roll, you might get nothing but a roll of common Jefferson's. On the other hand, you could get lucky.

I would put it to bid rather than sell at a set price if you're looking to make some money. Start the bid out at $2.25 a roll and ship up to 15 rolls for priority flat rate small envelope $4.95. Let the high bidder buy 1 or as many as they want at the high bid.
Then offer the next high bidder what's left and so on to the bidder behind No.2.

However, these are yours Thad. Whatever you do is up to you.
People take coins like this to the bank all the time. The coin roll searchers will eventually get them one way or another.

Truly unsearched? I'll take a shot for 50 rolls at $2.35 a roll + shipping of course.

My Jefferson album is 75% empty past 1965, so that jar of coins would be appealing to me
because I could put some weight on the book. I see your problem though, your not the guy for the job,
not your interest. Too bad, lots of people would enjoy being in your predicament.

That's not very many right there to search Thad ! ..
I can go through $200.00 dollars worth in a few hours....
And that jar looks roughly to be around "one full box"....though it's hard to tell the scale of the jar.

It's worth it to quickly go through them for some Buffalo's or Silver War's...... and some key's or semi-keys might net you some extra money for buying more Lincolns ! .....

Maybe you can try to sell them on the forum for face plus shipping.

Truly, Wheezy is right (as is per usual). It is an absolute chore to find better 70's and 80's nickels in circulation. I'd certainly be in for unsearched rolls at face+ a modest profit for you.
