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

I got this one day last week. When cashiers stick things like this in your hand, how are you supposed to keep from adding nickels to your penny coin roll hunting? I ask you, how?



Must avoid adding nickels... must avoid adding nickels... <--(has "the chant" ever worked for anybody?)

Sweet 38S! Thats an awesome find! And by the way, ignore "the chant", just add them to your pickup along with pennies!

Found a 1942-P War Nickel in the register today! Only my second War Nickel and my 6th overall silver find. Too bad I already have one...

first ever box of nickels until now just doing 10 or 20 dollars of CWR's
21 pre 60 nickels
NO silver :(
did get a hole filler tho 1946 S so I'm just as pleased.
gonna try boxes like I did this time (1 dime, 1 nickel, 1 penny) maybe 2 more times to see if my numbers go to where they were when I was doing CWR's if they stay lower gonna go back. But it sure was fun to rip through 100 bucks of nickels :)

1 box and 1 war! Not bad for a nights work watching tv with the wife.

Found this guy in a box last week. Pretty boring box except for a Cud and this hideous buffalo. It's the second oldest I've found, but the oldest and ugliest with a full date (hard to make out in the pic but it's definitely 1917).

I have been posting in these forums for a couple of months now, but mainly in the currency section which in itself is kind of ironic given the circumstances.

I read this forum and it made me smile (well some of the pages). You all do for fun what I do for a living.

For the last 12 years I have been required to search through roughly 110 million nickels... by hand. I knew nothing about them at first so they didn't interest me at all. Then as I started to become aware of things I naturally began to save certain ones.

Truth be known I don't have the time to sort through them to see what I can find so that hinders my collection considerably. Instead it's more dump and weigh and "oh look there's a buffalo" sort of relationship I have with the coin. Still I have managed to start a fair collection.

There are some coins (notably a Henning nickel) that elude me, and I doubt I will ever find, but I will not give up the search and am enlightened that there are others out there who do the same.

Thanks for making my day :)

i found 5 rolls of buffs the other day.. smirk.. had to rub it in...
