Hiya CND
I'm doing pretty well, thanks! I was pretty excited about the 42p as I don't seem to find many silver nickels in my searches. I did find one in circulation about a week ago although it was a common silver but still pretty exciting.
I was on a good roll finding the 74 DDOs, 5 within a couple weeks, but since then I have been skunked LOL. I traded the last one I had found (pretty beat up but you could still see the doubling) for that 1876 German Pfennig I mentioned in a different thread.
Well, time to head to work! Have fun and good luck in everyone's searching!!

Another 100 roll update.....Couple of important finds this time around Finally found a 1951s, down to needing only 6 to complete the set!

Error on the last post; the grand total of pre-1959 coins is 1753, not 1686.

4100 rolls. Wowzers. I finished my second box. It has taken at least a month. I think a lot of it is being new and trying to figure out what I'm doing and what I want to save and how to get organized. I've changed so much so often and keep going over the same ground. After one nickel and penny box, I have at least eliminated $80 that I don't want and it has gone out the door. I bought another box last Friday and have opened one roll, and again have changed how I want to approach this. If I can ever get organized, I think I'll send up smoke signals or something. Normally I'm the most organized person in the room, but not on this one.

Hi Bobbi!
I manage to search the rolls very quickly because I'm only looking for a few things. I put aside all 2005 Buffalo reverse coins to check for doubled dies. I also check all of the 90d's for the missing FS initials. Other than that, I put aside the pre-1959 coins, and search later through those for the various most popular errors (39 doubled die, 43/2, 43 doubled die, 49d/s, 54s/d, 55d/s, etc. I can do a roll every two minutes on average.

Two minutes! No way I could get through that fast. It takes longer than that for me to get the loupe placed properly in my eyesight to see the coin. :-) And yes, even that takes some time. I bought a new loupe yesterday that has a nifty light on it. Again - still not what I want. I might get one of those that hangs on my head and makes me look like a professional somethingorother.
In my neophyte state, I save all nickels before 1960 and any errors that I see. But looking for errors requires intensive scrutiny, as my eyes are not trained to see anything. Guess I need to narrow my search criteria some.

i go through a box in 40 min to an hour, I search for buffs, v's, silvers, I put all pre 1960 to the side, I ususally dont search for errors, but major ones like die breaks and off center strikes appear once in a while and those are easy to spot. After the first few boxes you'll get the hang of it quickly.

CND, your sucess with roll researching had inspired finally get a box of nickels, I found 31 pre 1960, and one of which was a 1943-S silver nickel, 4 candian nickels, and some type of double died obv. 1999.
Not great, somewhat good I suppose for a 15 year olds first attempt!
