Nice finds for a box Jon!


And rachums, as far as I remember, CND has not yet finished the goal. I remember him posting something about it but don't remember where.

Hadn't done a Nickel box in three months, but got one today.

2 Buffalo's with no date and 26 pre-60's

Good enough for me.

Box #67 I got my first 1955. It was not the best looking so it was easy to upgrade. and yes this is only my second now. And thanks! Glad to have this one out of the way.

If anyone is wondering how I found some of the larger coins, such as US quarters, I used to be able to obtain bags from coin counters. I am no longer able to obtain these bags, due to the possibility of "criminal activities", according to the teller.

Thanks to all for sharing their finds.

Nice V nickel tamshowoff!


And nice finds joseph_curwen! Love the detailed analysis. And based on everyones results, I should have found a V nickel by now, but I'm still looking after 79 boxes :/

It's fun to look at your results. Nice to have the 1950 d out of the way. I have 2 holes left to fill as well, hoping it doesn't take more than 250 boxes like you.

robbudo,

My son and I both have Canadian nickel collections, and neither us has been able to find the 1967 Canadian nickel.

Joseph,

Your results are very interesting to us. We have done 200-300 boxes I would guess. We have never found a 1950d or a 1943D. We have found more of some nickels and less of others than you have.
