The Goal: 25,000 Rolls Of Nickels (All Searchers Welcome!)

$10 in customer wrapped at lunch today - they didn't have a box.

1st roll - 43P and 58D

Nothing else. I'll take it. Another war into the tube.

Searching nickels has been very fun so far this year, it has helped me get through some slow silver searching with halves. Here are some results of the keepers I have been accumulating -

6 Brinks boxes searched, 300 rolls:

8 from the 30's - all Jefferson
94 from the 40's
100 from the 50's
75 - mix of 68',69',70' S mints
5 War Nickels - 3 '43 P, 2'45 P
11 Canadian - 1956 to 1968, all with little or no wear

I have found that the usual box has roughly 40 keepers. I have 1 more box for the weekend and will post the results later. Happy searching to all!

here's a newbie question..what years do you want to start looking for full steps.

Also, just found 2 43Ps today..one in fairly good shape with windows and columns. Other is a nice Greaser with no "tice" in monticello. Ugly obverse though..will post pictures this evening.

Here's the pictures of the two 43Ps I found. Second on seems to be in fairly good shape to me.








I know..hard to grade by a picture..but can someone try to for me.

yea the triangle really needs to be distinct for it to go above xf, except on those issues from the 60's where the dies are worn so much that all of the details on the reverse are obliterated lol

1 Brinks box tonight:

15 pre-1955 (I'm chucking back 1956 and earlier now)
1938 and 1952-S are the only notables

2 Canadians: 1989, 2000 (fills a hole in my Canadian Nickels from U.S. Circulation album)

10 Rolls Nickels in Canada

2 USA (1 1945S War)

did a box of 50 and nothing, guess the luck comes in loose bunches
