So last Friday I went to one of my branches to get coin. The teller only had 15 of the 25 rolls, I wanted, so she got 10 rolls from another teller. One of the rolls she got was old-style wrapping. When I got home, I opened it and found every coin in it was 1964 or earlier, including 16 pre-60s.

I finally got back to that branch today after work to see if said teller had any more old style rolls - and she did! 16 of them, along with one old-style dime roll which was heavy!!! (see the dime thread - https://goccf.com/t/60961&whichpage=449#4522385 for that one!)

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

The rolls produced 121 pre-60s, including five War Nickels - 1942-P, 1943-S, 1944P, 1945-P (2), and a 1948-S. The rest were all more common dates, except for a couple of 1953-S coins. There were three 1965-dated coins in this group. Every other coin was dated 1964 or before. The oldest coin was a 1939. Note: Only 81 coins can be seen in the picture below - the other 40 coins are in that roll in the front.

John77 amazing finds, congrats! Love to see all those pre 1960s. Call me crazy but I still think the 40s and 50s Jeff's will have their day sometime and could be worth a little something. They really are getting harder to find. I do a box a week myself.

I also wanted to add a general comment that 1964s are the kryptonite of nickel hunting. Man how many times I've thought I had an older Jefferson only to turn it over and see the dreaded "1964". I actually keep 1960s nickels too but I make sure the 64 never makes it into any roll I keep lol
