How many boxes have you guys done? Looks like it has been over 200?

Since we never kept track from the beginning, I'm only guessing, but I would say over 200 and under 300.

Yeah that's a good estimate. From the stats compared to mine, It looks like you at least did 200. Too bad you never kept track exactly. Those stats would be fun to compare to.

Here are the three best from my vacation nickel boxes. I did find two War Nickels, but they were way too ugly to post!

I'd say it's pretty safe to expect a buffalo every $400 or so.

I searched through $135 in CWR yesterday and found a 1943P, 1944S, and a 1918 Buffalo with a barely readable date.


So I guess I was really lucky when I found a dateless, 1936, and 1938 (maybe a D/S) on my first box?

Tonight's box yielded only a 1942P silver.

I finally had some time to get pictures of my better finds from my first box. My camera doesn't like the artificial light but most of the nickels have luster and are still the normal color.

I searched five rolls today (not up to the pace of some of you folks), and filled 3 holes:
2009D - finally
1957
1938D!

I found the 38D last and already had been pretty pleased with my haul, so that was great. I still have 30 holes in my album (plus I don't have any from 2012) so I have a way to go - but bit by bit its coming along.
