2010's are getting tiresome...although, I've still been pulling the highest quality ones. Finished a box on Tuesday, 24 pre-60, including a lone War Nickel 45-D, but thre were 18 different date/mintmark combinations. Unusual variance from the normal heavy on the 58-D and 59-D usually included in my tallys. |

Ive yet to find any 2010ds in boxes though I actually got 3 of them in change at a cvs here in new jersey of all places! The 2010p I can find in boxes, though quite infrequently.

Speaking of 2010 - worst box EVER. I thought it was solid 2010D, but I saw one 1979 peeking out of one of the ends so I knew the box was mixed. There where 1-3 non 2010D coins in each roll and none of them were older than 1963. I kept one half-way interesting Greaser out of the whole box. What a waste. |

Finished a box tonight. 29 pre 60 highlighted by a 43P, a 37 buffalo, and a 49S. Not a bad box.
For those wondering about 2010 boxes, I got a box from Wells plump full of 2010D's.

Great detailed summary post sich0015!  I'm a big fan of roll-searching nickels ........ and enjoyed your photos as well. You have some great finds so far. See you still need the 43-D and 50-D ..... and amazing that you have found 3 total 1939-D. Over the New Years holiday break I am going to compare (for myself) your find rates versus where I am at 230,000 coins searched ...... I'll share the results in this thread for general interest. You can find my 230,000 coin summary elsewhere in this forum. Thanks for sharing. David |

Greetings all,
Searched my first box of nickels a couple days back and did alright. Would like to do it more often but they are a bear to dump! Here is what I got - is that amount of foreign normal? Thanks for looking and happy hunting!
Silver - 1 (1943 S)
Pre-1955 - 14 (no top ten nickels)
Westward Journey - 67 (all mint marks for all varieties)
Canadian - 13
Other Foreign - 3 (1996 & 1997 Bermuda nickels, 1991 Japanese Fifty Yen)
- Scott

Xavier - I know! I actually had never got one of those before. The weird thing is I believe the first came out of roll #7, while the second came out of the seventh from last roll.

Thanks nickelsearcher! I enjoy the statistics too. Just two left to complete the set and they are going to be tough. I haven't filled a hole in quite a while.
Unfortunately my figure of 160,000 searched is only a close estimate. I would say it is plus or minus 1000. I searched about 10,000 nickels twelve years ago but I didn't keep track so I can't be sure. One of the 1939d finds was from back then. The rest of my search has been this year but my finds from back then were mixed with this year's finds. I have been keeping accurate stats on the 150,000 searched this year.

Hey cravenfan,check those Canada nickels for dates 1955-1981 because they are almost 100% nickel and worth 10 cents each in metal value and probably more in the next couple of years.
