WOW! 314 1950 Philly nickels? That is crazy, ratman4762! I'm at 22 or 23 total even with my little hoard.
When in doubt I usually take a screencap of my spreadsheet and save it as a jpg and then load it up here.

The really funny thing is I had pretty much taken that particular branch out of my search rotation. They had gotten a lot of boxes of shiny new 2017-D nickels, and I never really had much luck finding stuff there when I bought coins. I definitely made a new friend there yesterday - first time I had seen that particular teller. CRH Nickeloholic. 1,600,000 nickels searched in eight years! Have found FOUR complete Jefferson sets!

Quite amazing, John77. It inspired me get back to more rolls today; I have done only a few boxes in the last month or so. Were you nervous to flip over the 1950 to look for a mintmark? I feel nervous for three years: 1938, 1939, and 1950.

I feel nervous for three years: 1938, 1939, and 1950. Glad you were inspired, aristarchus123! It was funny, but since I was in anticipation of the other rolls that friendly teller may have still had, I didn't have the usual "nervous" feeling flipping over the 1950. I was so caught up in the moment that the normal anticipation of flipping the 1950 nickel was kind of lost. LOL. At that point, all I could do was kind of look up and think out loud "God, I guess it's my day!" I got much more "nervous" flipping over the 4 or 5 1939s I found that day.

Good finds
I think nickels have been better to CRH than others I had a skunk on a box of halves. I got 2 boxes of nickels and least found 2 rolls of any worth saving. A 38s and 2 39s, 43P silver and lots of 46 to 54s 50p and 39p no D. I think more folks searching non silver and silver going dry
I still need a 39D and another 50d.

Thanks, garys64wildcat!
And cabowabo, it was quite the eventful day... I truely LOVE the randomness of this hobby, especially when things like this happen... I found as many 1950 Philly nickels (7) that day as I find in an average year - found 6 in 2016, and 8 in 2017!

That's quite the story!!
I haven't searched nickel rolls in years. Your story has motivated me to perhaps give it a try again.

I haven't searched nickel rolls in years. Your story has motivated me to perhaps give it a try again. Glad it was inspiring! Some of my other great nickel finds over the past two years: A roll which included 30 Buffaloes, 4 Vs and 3 Proofs A full roll of 40 War NickelsA partial box (44 rolls) which included 170 pre-60 Jeffersons. A sister box had 37 pre-60s. Amongst the 207 pre-60 coins were 1938-D, 1938-S and AU 1939-D Jeffersons. A hoard of 5 rolls which included 98 pre-60s. Good luck!
