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

wow congrats lincolncentguy. all from circulation I presume?

In 8 boxes (400 rolls I've only found two proof nickels). Just opened a box for the weekend and looked at all the ends as I usually do to find a proof looking back at me with no rolling damage.
The 1990-S survived being rolled on the end but the surprise came a bit later when a second proof (1979-S) was in the same roll. It was also still in great condition.
Bedtime now so the rest will have to wait, but I sure am curious what the remainder of the box holds.



Looking forward to it nickelsearcher!

I've been a bit backlogged on nickels. From the last two brinks boxes plus a $60 in loose rolls (mix of CWR and Brinks plastic rolls), I found 40, 38 and 17 pre-1960 respectively (which is like 30% above my average). Also 1 partial date Buffalo nickel, two Canadian nickels, a Bahamanian and Panamanian nickel, a Columbian 50 pesos and a Venezuelan 50 centimos (I think it's the old one, which makes it worth like 0.000005 cents or something).

The one BIG find was the 2004 doubled die (discussed in another thread), which makes up for the rest (also the 2005 die clashes). Otherwise one Buffalo and no silver over $260 in nickels would be a big bummer! I also found a 1990 with what appears to be a severely Grease Filled Die, but it might just be some odd looking wear.

Thanks guys for all the kind words on finishing my Dansco Jefferson nickel album! All from circulation except for two War Nickels and of course the 1950-D,which my coin dealer had an awesome example and he gave me a great deal! I'm very proud of my set.

Congrats lincolncentguy. GG.
