angel2004 Pillar of the Community United States 2168 Posts	Posted 04/14/2011 09:35 am My last box on $100 was really a good box, but the one I did last night was ok, with 2 silver war 1942P and 1942S along with another 1937 Buffalo. There were quite a few prior 1960 as well, some in very good condition-bright and shiny! I really have been just putting all the prior 1960 in a cup and I have a full 9 oz cup and the silver and Buffalo are not in it. I have gone through about $614 woth of nickels so far and have 16 buffalo and 10 silver, 2 prior 1982 Canadian, some other foreign coins (including a UAE coin) I will be making up my collection books. I wanted to wait until I had the coins to fill them up for the most part and in good condition! I do have about 15 rolls of 1964! Edited by angel2004 04/14/2011 1:16 pm Report this Post to the Staff
murrellington Pillar of the Community United States 3276 Posts	Posted 04/14/2011 12:47 pm wow those are some good pulls. I've done $600 and have 2 buffalos and 4 War Nickels. Report this Post to the Staff
rawmeat Valued Member United States 94 Posts	Posted 04/14/2011 2:59 pm Panicked that I wan't going to get my 1/2 dollar boxes for a while and so I sorted a box of nickels. Only found one War Nickel. Wish I could say that it killed some of my enthusiasm, but finding that single nickel was as good as any drug on earth IMO for a beginner at least! Report this Post to the Staff
angel2004 Pillar of the Community United States 2168 Posts	Posted 04/14/2011 3:17 pm Yes, it's like winning the lottery! One box I had 9 Buffalo and 4 War (2 in the same roll) They were every so many rolls-a buffalo or silver so finding them was fun! My son is going to try to get some halves for me today. Hopefully the bank will have some. I have had no luck getting them. I have been lucky in finding many older nickels, this will allow me to fill up a few collectors books and do it with my grandson! Better than watching TV or playing with an ipod! Report this Post to the Staff
Kefiroth Pillar of the Community United States 1431 Posts	Posted 04/15/2011 01:39 am $100 of nickels today gave up: 2 proofs: 1968S, and 1976S. 2 semi-keys: 1948S, 1955 Plain (my 3rd '55 in 5 boxes!) Report this Post to the Staff
murrellington Pillar of the Community United States 3276 Posts	Posted 04/15/2011 03:07 am is a 55 plain just a 1955 philli coin? or is it a special variety? Report this Post to the Staff
angel2004 Pillar of the Community United States 2168 Posts	Posted 04/15/2011 08:43 am Philadelphia 'P' was not on the coins back then (except the War Nickels) I'm not sure of the exact year the 'P' was placed on nickels. The 1955 without a mintmark is Philadelphia. Report this Post to the Staff
3stooges Pillar of the Community United States 511 Posts	Posted 04/15/2011 1:56 pm Found a well-worn 1943-S in a pair of rolls I bought last week. Report this Post to the Staff
Kefiroth Pillar of the Community United States 1431 Posts	Posted 04/15/2011 2:55 pm 50 rolls today produced 1 silver (1943S), and 2 buffalos: a 1917 and 1927 both with full dates! The catch? They've also both got a nasty case of green disease. Also found a 1984 Canadian and that's it. Report this Post to the Staff

Lion4Life Valued Member United States 370 Posts	Posted 04/15/2011 10:13 pm 6 rolls today, found three keepers for the 7113, a few well worn oldies, and one 1993 Canuck. 1 1941 2 1953 1 1958D 1 1959D Report this Post to the Staff
angel2004 Pillar of the Community United States 2168 Posts	Posted 04/15/2011 11:57 pm Just went through another 100.00 with 1 very worn and thin (almost reminds me of how the dimes wear) 1942S and 4 Buffalo 1930, 1935 and two 1937 one of which is the least worn buffalo I have seen in circulation. One Canadian and not that many of the older before 1960 coins although the ones in the group were in very good shape. Report this Post to the Staff
SilverRoosevelt Pillar of the Community United States 917 Posts	Posted 04/16/2011 1:18 pm Went through $100 in a combination of bank-wrapped and customer rolls ($42 BWR and $58 customer rolls). In addition to 36 pre-'61 Jeffersons, I found five Canadians (including my second 12-sided one, this time from 1960) and a 1993 British 20p coin. Report this Post to the Staff
