jk109e4 Valued Member United States 303 Posts	Posted 10/15/2023 08:48 am Those Buffs are mighty hard to find. I got mine from collections and purchases, so even a recovered semi key date is a great find. Cheers. Report this Post to the Staff
nickelguy88 Valued Member United States 254 Posts	Posted 10/15/2023 3:46 pm I finally found a 1938-S after 147,804 nickels I still have one box left. Also, I found a 1942 with no mint mark, but it is certainly a silver nickel without question. I can't find any info on this as an error. Report this Post to the Staff

nickelguy88 Valued Member United States 254 Posts	Posted 10/15/2023 8:37 pm So I am thinking that the 1942 missing date is actually a 1942-S which is one that I need. Look at this and tell me what you think. I am comparing the supposed 1942-S to a worn 1943-S. Maybe the S on the 1942 was a weak strike or somehow was worn off in that spot over time?

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6523 Posts	Posted 10/15/2023 10:13 pm Yeah, the mint mark is definitely there, but it looks like the metal got scraped off by something. Report this Post to the Staff
nickelguy88 Valued Member United States 254 Posts	Posted 10/15/2023 11:14 pm Thank you Brandmmeister! Alright guys, this was the hunt of hunts so far! I finally found a 1938-S and a 1942-S which I needed for the original book. I now only need a 1939-D and a 1943-D The buffalo run was insane, with 6 Buffalo nickels in this batch of 10,000 including the 1914-D and a 1921-S So two semi-kay date Buffalos, a key date Jefferson, a tough silver Jefferson, and two semi-key date Jefferson. Just wow Wow WOW! I've got another 10,000 coming Tuesday or Wednesday. Video will be up tomorrow. I have a nasty chest cold and am ready for bed!

Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10038 Posts	Posted 10/15/2023 11:28 pm Really appreciate the stats. About how many hours would you say 150,000 nickels represents? Congrats on the buffalos for sure! How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?

nickelguy88 Valued Member United States 254 Posts	Posted 10/20/2023 7:51 pm Currently at 155,000 with another 5,000 to go. These boxes are rough. Averaging 21.6 Jefferson's a box, no silver yet, and two dateless Buffalo nickels. I did find what I am sure will be a 1960 upgrade. Almost as good of condition as my 1950-D All I need to find are the 1939-D and 1943-D Report this Post to the Staff
