Quote: The 1955p is a fairly low mintage (8.3 million) coin. Yep. I'm 56 boxes down and haven't had a single 1955 p nickel yet. Toughie. And I'd be stoked to get a buffalo once every 4 boxes.

Ahhh, Monday morning ... payday. Payday is nothing more than an excuse to get another box since I'll already be at the bank anyways :D The girl at my bank asked me if I wanted to order a box of halves but I'm debating. Nickels have been really good to me and are easy to unload.

Alright, I tallied my finds last night. Out of my first 7 boxes, I found 184 1959 and earlier nickels. No buffs (or earlier) and none of the keys. However, I did find the following lower mintage coins - 46S, 48S, 49S and a 55P. In addition, I found 3 War Nickels - 43P(2) and 45P. The two 43P's were in the last two rolls of the 7th box. I also kept a 4 BU 60's-80's nickels including a really nice 69S, and an 83P with a die error.

1955p tough? In the last three boxes I've found 5 of them. I thought they were fairly common.  . Weird. I'm having a hard time with the 1943d.

Just finished up my fourth box tonight, had some nice finds and a really nice find, see pictures. 2 x 1958D 1 x 1957D 1 x 1956D 1 x 1955D 2 x 1954D 1 x 1953 ( no mint mark) 1 x 1953S 1 x 1953D 1 x 1951 ( no mint mark) 1 x 1949 ( no mint mark) 2 x 1948D 1 x 1948 ( no mint mark) 1 x 1947 ( no mint mark) 1 x 1947D 1 x 1947S 1 x 1946D 1 x 1943S 1 x 1941 ( no mint mark) 1 x 1941D 1 x 1941S 1 x 1939 ( no mint mark) 1 x 1938 Jefferson ( no mint mark) The 1938 Jefferson is in extremely good condition, I do not know anything about grading so I will not even attempt. It is hard to see but there is still some signs of the steps visible. I have attached a couple of pics, please excuse the poor quality as I have poor lighting conditions as well as a camera that will not allow me to focus for close up shots
