The last few boxes have basically skunked us - until tonight. Tonight's box yielded the following: 1948s 1955p 1943S and 1938s our first ever!  This leaves us with only two Jefferson nickels that neither of us have found: 1950d and 1943D.

Quote: 1950d and 1943D Unless I am mistaken, nickelsearcher only has two holes left and they are the same two as you. Don't quote me on that though, my memory may be serving me wrong. And congrats on the hole filler!

Quote: Halfhunter you paid a buck for the 1885 and 1886 Liberty nickels? That is awesome. Yeah, landed those at an estate sale, bought a bunch of 40% kennedys they took me to the basement, there were a bunch of bags of coins, nothing good, I picked up a bag of buffs,mostly no dates, saw atleast one shield,and a few libertys in there, bought it for 80$, had 111 coins, had the full liberty set (no 1912 S) plus 4 or 5 extras, and 4 shields. I should work on finishing the buffs, and maybe the shield set.
