Well! It's been over three months since I posted an update here. I've had to let coins take a back seat for a few months due to life circumstances, but I have not forgotten this thread. Finally going to post an update. The last update I posted I had left off with 18,800 rolls, with 6,200 remaining to get to 25,000. I have ten updates to post here; a total of 1000 rolls. But, to make things easier, I am going to post them all together, to get me to 19,800 rolls. The next update I post will be 200 rolls, to get me to an even 20,000. From there on, I will post 1000 rolls at a time, until I get to 25,000. At 25,000 I will post a total per date list. Here goes!

1000 rolls
518 pre-1959

To answer Eaglefoot's question, I was, for awhile. But they are starting to turn up too often, so I have thrown them all back.

2009P and D? I guess I have been out of the loop! I am especially seeing a lot of D's, which if I remember for the longest time were all locked in vaults somewhere. I will have to start saving them again. Got 100 rolls to go through tomorrow. And murrellington, you're welcome!

Very nice! I was beginning to wonder what happened to the OP. So do you have Excel open and just tally the coins as you're counting? Or do you separate into piles of different years/decades before doing a tally?

In the past couple of weeks, I've set aside two to three rolls worth of 2009-D. Would it be worth it to auction them here do you think?

Please, could you please update your total findings. I know you did something many thousands of rolls ago.

I would love to know which dates make up your 8807 pre 1959 nickels and which dates make up your 308 silver nickels.

Thanks in advance.

To answer some of the above questions.....

I will be able to do totals, but it is going to be a massive project; one for which I am going to have to set aside a big block of time. Somehow in all of my moves (moved four times in the last year alone) I lost my tally sheets. Was keeping it on my laptop, and my laptop was stolen! What I am going to have to do is go back to the totals sheet that I posted at the 10,000 roll mark, and using Coin Community, look at all of the updates that I have posted. Luckily stating with the first update after that totals sheet I started posting everything I found in that update. So, I will be able to make a new totals sheet that way. When I go through rolls, I put aside in a pile everything 1958 and before, and then when I am done list them on a sheet of paper that I have all dates and mintmarks already preprinted on.

A box of NF String today gave up eight 2009D, a 1980S proof, and a 1950....plain

Frustratingly, about one fourth of all nickels in that box were 2010. Made me feel like taking a chainsaw to Tom's face.
