My son and I did a box of nickels tonight.
My find was a 1938P.
His finds were a 1935P Buffalo and a 1939D in almost uncirculated condition. That second nickel was a gem.

Finally picked up another box today. It's been two weeks since I have done one, which seems like forever to me.
Box #27 1/2 results: 1939 1941 1941 d 1941 s 1946 1948 d (x2) 1952 s 1953 1953 d 1956 d 1957 1958 d (x4) 1959 d (x2)
2009 p 2009 d (x11)
1998 canada
No hole fillers, no buffalo, no silver, no key dates..... but still fun. That's how I see it.

To answer your question, we each have 4 sets of the 1938-1961 Whitman folders. We have all the holes filled except for many of the "rare five".
I'll update you folks on our progress. As you may recall, besides our sets, we don't keep any extra nickels except for Liberty, buffalo, silver, and those with a mintage under 15 million, plus the 1938P.
Our finds, including those in our sets, are:
Group #1 1950D 0 1939D 4 1938S 0 1938D 2 1939S 2
Group #2 1951S 19 1955P 15 1949S 10 1950P 14
Group #3 1948S 14 1946S 12 1942D 9
Group #4 1938P 16

That box had so many keepers. It surprises me that you didn't get a single War Nickel or buffalo.

My best guess, is that some collector/hoarder decided it was time to get rid of any old coins not silver, and the bank just rolled them up. I need to go back and get another box, because the credit union I use rolls their own coins. There are 3 branches in my city, so I dump at one bank in the coinstar and grab at the other 2. Maybe time to grab some dimes just in case
