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

I'm planning on totaling everything up while I'm on this downtime... I'm guessing I'm near 1.5 million nickels searched in 6 years, but I'll have to check.

Last post June. I know the search continues, lets see them.

I've gotten back into nickels after taking a break. It's been slow; after nine boxes about all I had to show was a 1978 proof, three War Nickels (43-Px2, 43-S) and a very worn dateless buffalo which looks like a 1919-P after a vinegar bath.

But then just tonight as I was finishing that ninth box, I was thrilled to see a 1903 come out of one of the last rolls. It's my second V nickel and oldest find yet.

I really enjoy seeing Charles Barber's design sandwiched between 2022 nickels. I'm not sure why, I guess I just find it satisfying that these coins are still out there circulating, worn but still instantly recognizable.

...nice finds!!!!

My wife has started searching nickel rolls and came across this I believe middle eastern coin today.

Just a couple of surprises in a customer roll of nickels...
I started my 15th box of $100.00 bank wrapped rolls, found some nice oldies in the first 12 rolls, then I had to visit another bank in which I exchanged these rolls for another 12 in customer rolls. Went home, and these came out in the first roll!
(Pics are self explanatory)

Fantastic finds!

Just joined and came across this. In the past few months I have went through about $250 in nickel rolls. I didn't keep track of any pre 50's but did make a few good finds. A 42P and 43P, 38, 39D, and the ones that suprised me where 2 36's a day apart from two different banks. Never thought I would find one Buffalo, let alone two. Will start keeping track of the 50's and earlier now, in my hunt for the elusive 09's.
