Yes they are machines rolled in the plastic shrink wrap rollers. I was pretty impressed with the 3 55's and 3 2009's. I get five boxes a week and have to say I have been very impressed with all the boxes I have gotten with the exception of the half dollar boxes.

Just found this beauty in a roll (NF S&S) that had 12 other Canadian nickels in it. The other coins included a run from 74 through 82. I'd love to have the other rolls with the rest of the collection!   |

Nice Canadian nickel. Is it 99.9% nickel or does it have any silver in it?

Box 46: The Canadian nickel from 1937 posted above (mintage of 4.5 M), 38 (X2), 45D (my 2nd ever), 47S, 54S. Not a bad box.

I still have yet to find a 99.9% Canadian nickel in any machine rolls. I found one 1977 nickel in a customer roll but other than that, no such luck.

Day 4 no nickels ... it's starting to hurt. Can't wait until next Monday. On a random note. I'm on ebay constantly just looking at auctions that are about to end seeing if I can snag something for a good price. The past two days have been impossible ... some guy put up over 13,000 indian head pennies individually that all end probably 50 at a time every minute. All you see is pages upon pages of these pennies and whatever good coins there are you miss. Fairly aggravating and irrelevant but I had to vent somewhere and to someone haha |

Haven't seen this before. I just got home with 11 rolls of Nickels from the bank. First roll was 80% 1960-1964. 1 from the 40's and the rest were 50's. I open the next and so on of the 8 rolls from the first tray and they were the same. It must have been a bunch of coins someone had put aside and decided to roll. I found 1 1972 and 1 1983-P and that was it.
3 more machine rolls to open different tray. These are mostly later 70's-2010

I ended up finding a few common dated ones today such as 1939p, 1940p, 1941p, 1942p (75/25), 1957d The two best finds were a 1943s and a dateless buffalo.  |

Too bad those coins are corroded. Would cleaning them hurt the value of the coin, since there is not a huge market for Jefferson nickels? |

I finished up my first box of nickels for the 2012 a week ago, and just now have been able to compile stats on it. I wouldn't typically post about a whole box like this but it was a very odd box for me. Many of the rolls had nothing newer than 1970, which I've found to be uncommon (and really cool). Anyway, here are my findings, am curious to see if any of you have had the same experience. I normally don't keep track of anything newer than '60 but I decided to just on this box since I was getting so much older stuff. 70S: 18 70D: 6 69S: 9 69D: 2 68S: 51 68D: 27 67: 6 66: 22 65: 55 64: 59 64D: 74 63: 29 63D: 74 62: 6 62D: 20 61: 7 61D: 18 60: 2 60D: 7 59: 1 59D: 17 58: 1* 58D: 19 57: 2 57D: 23 56: 1 56D: 4 55D: 1 54: 1* 54D: 1 53: 2 53D: 10* 52: 5 52D: 3* 50: 1* 49: 2 49D: 11 48: 5 47: 5* 47D: 2 46D: 1* 46: 10 43P: 2* 41: 4 40D: 1* 40: 10 39: 3 * hole filler I feel I did pretty well on this box. 9 holes filled and a couple of War Nickels...not too shabby. I don't know if this was some dealer's dump or what (no killer specimens) but it was a fun box to go through. Oh I did find some potential black beauties too. Of course having a cool box like this means my next three will be all fresh '11 rolls. Bleah. so about 1/4 of the nickels I pulled were older than '71. Is that normal? Let me know what you think, please. Thanks! |

Those are some pretty good finds. War Nickels are always a great find. I even enjoy finding the nickels dated 1940p, 1941p, and 1946p, and those 3 dates minted in Philadelphia have mintage numbers in the hundreds of millions, which still makes them abundant in circulation even after all these years. I do not think you should keep anything older than 1962 (especially 1964's) but if worse comes to worse, you can always spend them into circulation, and put that money towards finding more older nickels. That's why I love this hobby; it's a win-win situation. |
