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

LOL 13 yrs old! I thought I fixed that. I belong in the over 50 group.
Anyways, I check into that.

This posted download will work, just save it to your desktop first then put it where you want it from there.
I am sure you have microsoft works with your windows programs. I tried to do a graph and it did make one but the dates were so small.
What I really thought would be neat is if I could make the number of nickels searched.
40 (per roll) x 3000 (rolls)= 120,000 and show the odds of what it would be to find a particular nickel date and mintmark. It is easy to determine that a 1939S is 1 in 120,000 and therfore the percentage of 1939S is duh ... I can't figure it out?
I think it is .00012 % Little help here LOL!
I'll try again later on the graph. By the way, anyone can use this, just enter your own numbers. It isn't that big of a deal but I did enter CND's finds at the 3000 rolls report for him.

Here's the link, I swear it is clean and not a problem with any virus or spyware. My PC is squeaky clean every day!

Wheezy,
That is EXACTLY what I wanted to make, thanks!!

I still think I will only include that link every 1000 coins; keeps anybody that is following this closely in suspense! :)

Your welcome, eventually that link will not work as I will get rid of that folder on my webspace so anyone else who wants it get it while you can. Glad you liked it CND! My pleasure.

I'm still 13 years old no matter what I try to do in my profile. Do you guys think I should contact CC admin?

Sure hope so! Even if it isn't it must be one heck of a nice nik to have you thinking that!
Can't wait to see it.

Hi Numi!
I didn't realize my email address was not in my profile. That might explain why I'm getting no response to the items I have for sale in the selling forum! Anyway, about the cents, sell them FAST on ebay, like open the bidding for $5 for five rolls. I don't know if that's high or not; I haven't looked at ebay to see. All I do know, and a lot of this experience comes from the many years I was in the sports trading card business, is when something new is out there are certain people (PT Barnum wrote a famous saying about them!!) that will pay an outrageous amount to try to have the first of something that if they waited a few weeks everybody in the neighborhood will have for a fraction of the price. But move them QUICK, because they will show up in change everywhere soon.

Be sure you emphasize that the rolls are unopened, and there could be "lots of scarce and wonderful errors and varieties" that could be found! Take advantage of the "I want to be first" mentality; put down that they could be the first to possibly (make sure you put "possibly", as you don't want to mislead people into thinking they are definitely going to find something valuable) find a new rare variety! Good Luck!

Once I figure out how to access my profile I'm going to put my email there!

XoG! SUPER Find!!

Hey Xavier, That is a super coin! I am not sure if it is a proof or not but I can see why you (and I) could think so. My proofs only go back to 1952 but they would be very close in appearance I am sure, so I will post my 52 proof here alongside yours and see what you guys think.
I don't know about sending it out for grading. Sure is a nice coin from what I can tell and pictures always seem to take away from rather than add to.
One thing for sure that has super strong strike and detail. Lots of eye appeal and I think you might just have a proof.
What a keeper! I do see a little rim wear or maybe just dings. What grade would you guess it is?

YOUR OBVERSE

MY 52 Proof ... not so good a picture sorry?




I found some 50 proof images here
