Yesterday I went through 15 rolls of bank wrapped nickels (I consider intended for circulation coins to be in circulation) and found a 1943-P War Nickel. It's in rough shape but it's silver and I love silver. |

Arkie: Nice nickels. What part of Arkansas do you live in? I was born and lived in Mena for most of my life.

Just a couple counties away. I like Mena; drive through on occasion. These were handed out in Texa'kana.

Arkie: The Ouachita Mountains are one of the most scenic parts of the country. Mena is pretty, but is a one horse town and there are very few good jobs. It's also not a good place to be if you're a single guy. Most of the decent girls move when they turn 18 to either go to college or to move to a city. It's a boring place unless you like to fish and hunt, which I don't. That's why I moved to Tulsa in 2007. I like it up here except for the awful drivers. I got rear ended on Friday and almost got into a wreck today because somebody pulled right out in front of me.

I bought 20 rolls of pennies to go through today. In the second roll I went through, I found this gem. What do you think it would grade at? It's not in bad shape at all for being 105 years old and still in circulation.   Edited by bugo

What a coincidence, fellow Arkansan. I found this 1942-S War Nickel at work yesterday. A customer put a bunch of change on the table and slid the quarters towards me when I saw the S mintmark. I said "how about I get rid of these nickels for you" and he said "thanks!" It is in better shape than the pictures show. It's XF if not a low AU.   |

Looks like someone's coin collection is being looted.
