Well I was going to ask which one of these to open first to hut through...but after reading Danhelmick98 thread on his Brinks box having rols of uncs in them I can hardly wait now to open this Brinks box!

So what do you think...where would you start if you were me...the bag or the box.

For me, I'd start with the bag because A) I've never had one, and B) takes up more space.

Well I decided to at least open the brinks box...plastic wrappers .

17 rolls searched (12 from the bag 5 from the box) and so far I've found 1 1943-P , 2 holes filled , and 5 nice upgrades ...wonder if the ratios will hold, get better or drop off?

The silver was in the Brinks Box, you sure know it when you see one..just like quarter roll searching...only with nickels its not the edge but you can just tell by the color and wear of the coin right away.

More to come

Congrats on the War Nickel, keep going hopefully there are a few more or even a V nickel.

Keep posting your finds.

Allfome - definitely hoping for some V nix...probably more so than the War Nickel...

So obviously my thread has morphed into something different than when I first posted, I'm searching for my circulated Jefferson Folders. Been a while since I worked on them and at this point I only have 23 more holes to fill from the 1938-1961 folder...oh and my 2014 P and D..haven't seen them yet. All other finds will be upgrades to existing holes or keepers depending on how "MS condition" they are.

Here are the updates as of now

18 Rolls from bag searched
11 Rolls from the Brinks Box searched

1 War Nickel
5 new holes filled (1960, 1947, 1968-S, 1939 1959)
15 upgrades

Totals are rolled in from above...

Rest in Peace
