Not really 2 bad boxes if dont say so myself :)

i started my quest to complete a set of Jefferson's, from roll searching, in august. I have only completed 4 boxes - so far, and have only 16 holes left to fill. obviously the hardest ones are left, and one of the missing is 2010D - which should show up soon. I live on the east coast, so that one is just a matter of time.

i have also found coins from 11 different countries - included.

just having fun - so far.

Yes...it's official. 100,000 nickels have been searched by DylansDad.

Here's an amazing stat. Had to wait until the last box of those to find a 2009-D, and then pulled 3 of them. Before that, I'd only found a single 2009-P.

(Still no 1955.)

i think the finds are pretty cool but I dont see much money made for all the work that is if your trying to sell these coins. some nice finds though. good job.

Well said!

Except I would probably change it to say "the hobby is never about making money."

finally am finishing up a brinks box I got last wednesday
3 wars so far with 11 rolls to go
no buffalos but an array of 40's and 50's
42D (not silver variety)
1944P
1943P X2
those are the main good ones
then lots of the other more common dates
***Also about the whole making money thing I hate it when the tellers ask me
if its really worth it for me to go through the boxes
they ask me how much I make? When I tell them nothing because I will never sell my coins
and since you really don't find that much really good stuff they look at me like I'm nuts.
Then I realize....I am.
Then I come here and feel accepted lol
don't pick up the hobby to make money or you will be very disappointed
I am just trying to get circulated dates and mm's of every coin I can
from halves through pennies
to ikes to president and susan b dollars lol
It's just fun!

Dang a V-nickel on the end of a roll...that's incredible.

Indeed ..... turns it was a 1907 which I grade at G-4. Amazing to find a 103-year old coin in a bank roll.

Also ..... just for you DylansDad ..... the same exact roll yielded my 10th 1955 Philly
