The Goal: 25,000 Rolls Of Nickels (All Searchers Welcome!)

Nice finds BabyJayhawk! I'm curious about that "2 headed nickel". Is that an error of some kind?

Here is my box for today and it was a good one. There were 49 pre-1960 nickels including:

dateless buffalo (1913d type 1)
1935 buffalo
1942d
1942P
1943P
1945S
1955
1987S proof

sich0015, No it's definitely not an error coin, I would be more convinced if the years were both the same, on one side it's a 1974 and on the other side it's a 1983-P. I'm guessing it's a Magicians coin of some sort. Though it's done pretty good, the 1974 is hollowed out and the other placed inside. You can see a double rim from about 11:00 - 4:00 approximately on the 1983-P side of the coin.





In hand the coin looks and feels authentic, but under magnification the way it was constructed became evident.

Still a pretty cool find, I was a little confused when I flipped Jefferson over to see Jefferson.

Found this 1939d last night.
it was the only keeper in the whole box.

But a fine keeper he is.

Oh yeah, I should have thought of it being a Magicians coin. I remember being confused when I found a double tails Memorial cent. Thanks for the pictures!

The last box I searched was one of my best! It yielded two War Nickels and a total of 30 nickels that were pre-1960, and also a Canadian 1998 5 cent coin. The weird thing is, the two boxes before that were my worst ever. Between the two I only got 17 pre-1960 nickels total!

When returning a box to the bank yesterday, the teller was asking me why I had so many nickels. She asked me, "Where did you get them?"
"A different bank," I said.
"What did you get them for?"
"...A hundred dollars." Duh, I thought. But then I realized she was asking me WHY I got them, not HOW MUCH I got them for. Heh.

I was like, "Oh, um, mumble, oh, oh you meant WHY, oh, uh, because I'm a coin collector."
She politely smiled and nodded.
