The Silver Searcher Pillar of the Community United States 1392 Posts	Posted 03/25/2012 01:13 am Got a 1982-S proof out of a roll a few weeks ago. Anyone else found a Jefferson proof? Report this Post to the Staff
robbudo Pillar of the Community United States 2759 Posts	Posted 03/25/2012 06:51 am I've found 6 Jefferson proofs so far in rolls. Although, I haven't found any in the last 26 boxes! Report this Post to the Staff

Kefiroth Pillar of the Community United States 1431 Posts	Posted 03/25/2012 3:18 pm I've found 35 proof nickels roll searching with dates ranging from 1942-2006. Most of those came from the same box, which was obviously a dumped collection. Report this Post to the Staff

Owassokie Pillar of the Community United States 622 Posts	Posted 03/25/2012 7:23 pm How do you identify a 1960 proof. Is there a mint mark? I found a beauty that had a mirror like finish, unlike any others I've found. It had no mint mark. Also, I've opened about 5 boxes since my last update. I think I alread mentioned the no date buffalo. Other than that, I haven't found much interesting. Found two 38 and two 39 but no mint marks. One of the 39's was pretty nice. No War Nickels though. I have found four 42's face up. Slowly turn them over to find disappointment every time. Oh well, the suspense makes it worth it. Okie Report this Post to the Staff
southsav Pillar of the Community 2225 Posts	Posted 03/25/2012 7:30 pm Okie, can't help with your proof question but in my last 3 boxes I've gotten 4 wars, about a dozen hole fillers, an undated buffalo and numerous duplicates. Keep the faith Report this Post to the Staff
ram96 Valued Member United States 417 Posts	Posted 03/25/2012 9:03 pm Found 2 1939's and a 1978 that someone tried to make look like a War Nickel and added a P counterstamp. Report this Post to the Staff
The Silver Searcher Pillar of the Community United States 1392 Posts	Posted 03/25/2012 9:14 pm Thats a bad fake, what is it they tried to make the date into, a 1943? Hard to tell. Report this Post to the Staff
ram96 Valued Member United States 417 Posts	Posted 03/25/2012 9:23 pm Does not look like they tried to change the date. Just tried to blacken it and added the mint mark stamp. Report this Post to the Staff
Owassokie Pillar of the Community United States 622 Posts	Posted 03/26/2012 11:55 am Ram96, I would have been mad if I found that with the reverse up, only to be disappointed when turning it over. My guess is that was a practice nickel for someone who plans on turning a bunch of 1942 ' no mint mark" in to 1942 P's. Shame shame but probably a lucrative theft. It wouldn't fool anyone that was looking for errors but I'm not sure I would notice if I found a 1942 with this stamp on the back. Probably breeze right by it and throw it in the silver pile.
