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

My last four boxes have had some pretty uncommon circulation finds. I found a 1916 Buffalo which is my oldest dated buffalo. Unfortunately it looks like it is speckled with paint or something but it is incredible to find a 95 year old coin. I also found my fourth 1951s, my third 1950 plain, my second 1943d, and my third 1938s. The 38s is NICE!

Congrats on the 1938 sich! That thing looks like it just came fresh out of someone's collection!

Just wondering what the 80s BU is? Wow, I guess I've been lucky with buffalo, pretty much find at least 2-9 in all my boxes. Yes, one box 9! Silver is usually 2-4(only one with 4) I have been finding quite a few of the discolored 2008P and look like a batch of the nickel has the copper showing somewhat. Anyone think these are worth saving? In very good shape. Also, only 1 2009 and 1 2011 all total in the about 700 I've been through. Is anyone separating into years? I ended up doing so before 1980 since it was easy to do while going through the rolls.

oh this box also had 21 2009 D nickels. I seem to get a lot of these where I am from... I've done 7 boxes and I have 54 already. still waiting on my first 2009 p

got a decent box for a change I dont think I have been on this thread that much because I usually skunk out on silver and just pull about 20-40 pre 59 coins
yesterday I went through a box and got 3 silvers
1942 S
1944 P
1944 D
no hole fillers still but I'll take the silver strike

Hi all. I am a very new collector and I'm still trying to learn the basics of whats what. To start my collection I started making a book of Jefferson nickels. Except for several 40s and 50s and of course 2009D/P I have almost filled my book(excluding proofs). As I was reading this thread, great thread btw, I noticed alot of people talking about the 1950D nickel. I looked through my book and realized that I have one. Then I decided to look through the other pre-1970s that I kept and I found one more. Now I've only gone through maybe 50 rolls at this point and I have found 2 1950Ds. So I was wondering, what makes this coin so special or rare? I would be very grateful for any feedback or advice. I live in a very small military city with no coin shops within 2 hours so all I have to learn from is books and forums like this. Thanks for the help!
