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

I am hooked! I started my quest for a set from circulation and did surprisingly well after 4 boxes. I found s dates:

40,41,43,48,49,51,52,53,54 as well as the 50p to boot!

As well as many others. I am off to a good start. You definitely inspired me!

Good luck with your 50d to complete the set!

Yeah I miss CND reports. I guess he has to work a lot.
I have been busy getting my set of Jeffersons together of the best I can find of those I have on hand.
My recent acquisitions are my second double eye 1943 P and a 1939 and 1945 P Double Monticello. 1954 S over D and 1955 D over S. Also have found a 1990 D no FS initials and a Large S 1941 S.

I still need these to consider having what I feel is my complete set.
1938 1940 1941 1942 Ty 1 and 2 1950 and 1951 proofs and perhaps a 1955 Triple Die Proof. ( as long as they aren't ugly I'll settle for any grade PF 60 or better )

1942 D over Horizontal D
1946 D over inverted D
1949 D over S

Hope that the forum doesn't get mad I mentioned trade in here, but I don't want to duplicate my post.

It seems someone dumped their Pre-1959 hoard (complete with one silver nickel) at the local bank. A "rare" find was a nice XF-AU 1939. I'm going tomorrow to get 2 more boxes.

XavierOfGreen sez ... "you actually can find those in rolls"
That is probably true but only if I do the roll search thing (again) and I just can't do it as I don't have the time.
I have my captured nickels that I have saved to go through yet.
I did just nab a double monticello 1939 tonight though in fine condition.
I would like to find the one with the hockey stick die break on the pony tail. I think that is a 1946 S. Anyone know for sure?

Well, here I am, "next few days" HA! I have been sidetracked by other shiny things (cents and halves) and have had a fantastic August searching through bank rolls of those (a 1999 Wide AM, close to 300 silver halves, etc.) but through the month I did do a few nickels. I have four updates, and tomorrow will get a box of 50 rolls to complete a fifth update. Here goes (and by the way, STILL no 50D)
