1942-D

I just went through a box and found 73 1942-D

One of them was XF and the rest were G to VF.

Found some other semi key dates too.

They weren't all in one roll.

I found more 1942-d than all the other pre 57 coins. 57d, 58d and 59d are almost too common to talk about.

Holy mackerel! Were they silver? If so you've got $146 worth of silver!

yeah 1942 d's are not silver, but finding 73 of them in one box is just out of the ordinary.

oops sorry I remembered that as soon as I left the computer

Anyway, on to the day's search.
If I am right this is box 22, which means that I am 24/22 silver count. A lot worse than I used to be.
This box was probably one of the best I'd ever had, lots of cool stuff.
Anyway here goes:
no silver
1-dateless buff-I will have to soak it in vinegar with the other one I have
no hole fillers

however....drum roll please...(epic music)

1927 Canadian nickel in EX40!! This was the last thing I expected to find and I now have a new thing to look for!

I'll post a pic tomorrow. This is by far the coolest thing I have ever found in a roll.

8 left: 50D, 38DS 39DS 45D 44D 42dCuNi

I just finished a Brinks box. 38 pre 1960 including 5 buffalos, 3 V nickels and a 1941 large s with what appears to be a very minor clip on the rim. Hopefully I can post pictures soon. This was a fun box. Buffalos: dateless s mint, 1914s restored date, 1928 d partial date, 1926, and 1913 type 1. V nickels: 1910, 1907, and I think I can see 1889 but I'm not sure-this thing got in a fight with some acid a long time ago. It might be 1886.

My Brinks box of cents from a different bank had a 1907, 1909 V.D.B, and a 1911d. Six 100+ year old roll finds in one day=BEST CRH DAY EVER!

sich0015: You scored in not only cents, but also nickels. way to go. did you get them from banks you go to normally? it's strange how you got 2 boxes with old finds.

And I thought my 1927 Canadian nickel was cool.... absolutley amazing sich. That ranks up there with CND's big finds, like 10 V nickels in one box!

This has to be the coolest thing I have ever found, but sich's box really raises the bar.

I found this 1938-S on the end of a bank roll yesterday. Hard to believe that a coin with a mintage of only 4.1 million is still floating around. Any opinion on grade would be appreciated. Thanks!

1943 S silver
1946
1949 d
1953
1953 d

The nickels and cents were from two separate banks and I pick up at each fairly frequently.

Here are the pictures. I think the last V nickel is an 1889 but it's not clear. Anyone else think they know what it says? The 1941 large s is a rare find and I think that is a clip by the ER in LIBERTY but it is more like a sliver.
