I plan to stop off at Wall World after work today and pick up a good desk lamp that I can use to put more light onto the coins when taking picture, I will try and get better pics posted tonight.

bbradford71, try to pick up a desk lamp that has a full spectrum light - it gives a more natural appearance to coins than just a normal light source.

I remember several years ago taking some loose change I had rolled up to the bank and they made me write my name and phone number on the side of the rolls in case they were short. Could be that the person that turned in those rolls had to do the same thing.

I usually stop at the bank and pick up 5 rolls of nickels and lately the results have been really dismal. Even told a friend that I was giving up searching nickels, but while at the bank this morning, I picked up 5 rolls. This afternoon, I went through them and found a 1941, two 1954D, a 1956 and, (are you ready for this?) a 1937D Buffalo nickel! WooHoo, I'm back!

Box 41: Found a V-nickel! It is well-worn, scratched, and corroded, but still worth the 5 cent investment.

Congrats robbudo, I am still hoping to find one. I have only done 13 boxes so I am not surprised that I have not.
