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

Thanks. I like I said was just getting the nickels as a 'cheap investment' On opening a hand wrapped roll I found a silver and buffalo in the first roll along with quite a few older coins as well. Well, that was it. I've searched a little over 100 and found and seperated them out by before 1960, the 60s 70s and past 1980. I will just, since I'm looking through them anyway package them back like that. I also decided to make a collector book the nickels for my grandson! Maybe 2 sets since I have been lucky to find many older coins. I thought the filled in D was nothing but some of the better quality coins I have placed in a cup as well.

Yes 5 all together 1928, 1926 and the other 3 not readable. 4 were in one roll.

Now that I think about it, I may have found a 1960 proof in my most recent search.

How do you know if a coin is a proof when it's mixed up in the roll? THanks!

I think Proof coins would be very shiny, have excellent details, thick rims... I think

Questions are no problem! It's what were here for!

I don't think 2009-D's are special, or valuable, except maybe the ones in higher mint-state condition, such as MS-63 or higher. They will probably get more common over time.

However, this being said, I still have not found one yet :P lol

I went through another box today.

2 silver: a 1942P and a beat up 1944P with a HUGE lamination peel on the reverse side. The peel is so severe that it looks more like a semi-circular Cud going around the rim. The mintmark was completely obliterated as a result of wear and the peel.

I know lamination errors are common for the silver alloy, but would something like this have collectible value? (The peel covers about 85% of the reverse side surface)

Other finds worth mentioning are a 1938, a 1985-S Proof, a BU 1974D, and a AU 1968S with some step detail!

EDIT: After extremely close examination, I can see the remnant of a P mintmark on the 1944.
