Ricardo, that's a pretty good timeline to finish a circulation set. I've been sarching nicks for about 2 years, I've needed the 39d/50d for the last year or so.

Buffalos and War Nickels are getting scarce. I've had 2 War Nickels in about the last 10 boxes. and I haven't had a buffalo in 16 boxes.

I reached a milestone tonight by completing a full roll of dated Buffalo nickels from roll searching. My last box had eight. They were really fun to find even though they were all common (1928, 1935x2, 1936x2, and 1937x3).

I was picking up Box #19 and saw a $2 bill with a red seal in the drawer. I asked if I could have it and the teller said he had two, and the other had a red seal on it too. Both are pretty circulated and one is from 1963 while the other is a 1928-F. I forked over two of the nickel rolls to pay for them because there was a line forming and I didn't want to make a withdrawal of just $4. So the nickel searching started out pretty fun.

So, of the $96 of nickels, half were CWR and I pulled 2 silver nickels from them. nothing good from the rest of the rolls, except a very nice 1960 AU, and a VF 1955D. Happy about the silver and the 1960 was a nice upgrade.

Nice find robbudo and lucky on the $2 bills. I really want to do some nickels after reading all these, but I am stuck at college and can not afford to have $100 dollars in nickels laying around.

Box #38 down.-EPIC!
1 1945-P silver 38/31 31 silver
no buffs
no V's
no proofs
foreign: 1993-Fish Nickel, a few Canadians including a 1977

Dates: I cant believe the amount of good dates I found. That and the AMAZING toning makes this an EPIC box.
1959-MS
1958-D MS
1958-(5) every single one was beautifully toned. Chocolate and golden. They were all at least EF, some were AU one was MS FS
1955-Chocolate toned-wood grained beautiful MS
1954-S (4)
1942-D
1942-P CuNi
1951-S (2) Took me 19 boxes to find my first one!
"Electric blue" 1988-P MS beautiful coin
1967-Golden and electric blue toned-looks like it has "waves" of toning.
1996-P CH BU FS
1979-deep golden toning-I thought at first it was gold plated

just an amazing assortment of dates here, and you should of seen it when I pulled those 1958's! 5 all EF-MS beautifully toned!
I will try to get some pics up but I am afraid they will not show the amazing quality of the nickels.

Good luck dudes-til next time
