Must be a lot of boxes you've gone through! I average about 1 every other box, and I've only found 10 or so. However, I only do 3-4 boxes a year.

Congrats!

Yes I do. I am truly obsessed. I love finding silver at face value. Also I only need the 50-D. I am sure it might slow down after that but who am I kidding. I will start up another set.

@The Duke. I have only have 2 39-Ds. I may have found more because I did not start to create my collection July of last year. I primarily just looked for War Nickels and saved any 1960 and prior that was my sole purpose at first. I was not educated on key date, varieties, etc. I do remember tossing back the 1950 - D when my pile was about $10.00 worth of pre 1960s. Lesson learned the hard way.

Wow congrats. What do you do with the nickels you don't want from all those boxes? How do you get rid of them?

Congratulation ... that's a lot of boxes ... and War Nickels ... in a very short time period.

OCD is not a bad thing ... as long as it does not interfere with life functions.
