Box 50(40 CWR, 10 NF S&S): MILESTONE! Just topped off my first full roll of silver War Nickels. So, it only took going through 100,000 nickels to find 40 of them. That is 1 silver nickel per 2,500 searched. Also found 2 die cracks in this box (1994 & 1996). Interesting thing, the die cracks are in the same spot, going from the tip of the nose to the rim. Found 2 pre-1982 Canadian nickels (pure nickel). Most favorite from the box: a 1939 AU. https://goccf.com/t/109159 |

Wow, that 1950D looks great, as does that 1910 cent. You guys got the juices flowing again, so I stopped by the bank this morning and picked up five rolls of nickels.
Disappointed once again. These rolls yielded only one pre-1960 (1940) and a Canadian 1984. I think I have almost three rolls of Canadian nickels from searching bank rolls here.

Just finished another $100 box today. Ended up with 23 pre '60 coins (oldest was a '39p), 1 war (another '43p), 2 Canadian, 1 Mexico 50 Centavos, and a nice F/VF '47s that I'm adding to my collection of pre '60 s mint Jeffersons.

Nice find on the 50-D. That's what keeps me looking for nickels.

I found my very first 1938D nickel!  Quote:MILESTONE! Just topped off my first full roll of silver War Nickels. So, it only took going through 100,000 nickels to find 40 of them. That is 1 silver nickel per 2,500 searched. Good stuff, man. I think I have found close to 10 War Nickels overall from coin roll hunting. |

Can anyone tell me about what the average is from their experience about how often you are finding silver war nickles. 1 per box 1 every 2 boxes or  |

Another 2 boxes down #47 & #48 I think  altogether: 1-silver-1943P 35/48- 35 silver-for trapper thats 4 boxes for 3 silvers no buffs no Vs no proofs-1964-D proof like! AMAZING coin with mirror field but not full steps...my camera doesn't capture it. I tried, too! HOLE FILLER 1938-D  1951-S 1955 1958 1939 MS 1947-S 1948-S 1941-S Those were the good dates.

Two of you found 1938d's. Amazing! My son and I have only found two of those in all our years of collecting.
Tonight's box yielded only a 1945P and a couple of upgrades.

Dang rachums, you are beating me with that hole filled. you have 4 slots left now. That box would have been awesome for me, the 38d and 55 would have both been hole fillers! Quote:

Pulled a 45P and a 36 Buffalo nickel tonight. That makes 5 War Nickels and 4 buffalo from this weeks search. Thinking about adding a box of halves to my weekly order ... won't find any if I'm not trying I guess. |
