Islander2010 Valued Member Canada 220 Posts	Posted 06/10/2013 11:17 am Went to pick up my weekly roll hunting fodder, asked for $160 in nickels, and one of the bundles handed to me looked like this!! Hard not to break the speed limit on the way home! Can only wonder how this ended up being handed in. Collector falling on hard times? Part of a deceased estate, where the fanmily just rolled up what they thought was just loose change? Can't wait to see what's in here! Report this Post to the Staff

Islander2010 Valued Member Canada 220 Posts	Posted 06/10/2013 2:49 pm I have been hunting at least $200 a month worth of nickels for about 2 years now, and have found a grand total 3 George V nickels in that time. This has been THE highlight of my roll hunting up to now! Report this Post to the Staff

jbuck Moderator United States 187862 Posts	Posted 06/10/2013 3:12 pm 1942 was the only year to have both normal Cu-Ni alloy and the wartime 35% silver alloy. 1942 ( no mint mark) and 1942-D (small mint mark to the right of Monticello) are copper-nickel. 1942-P and 1942-S (both with large mint mark above the Monticello) are the 35% silver alloy.
