Had my best nickel box yet this weekend. Ended up finding 8 King George V nickels from 1922, 1924x2, 1927, 1928, 1929, 1932, and 1935. Also, had 18 pre-1963 Canadian nickels, including King George VI nickels from 1940 and 1941, and a 1939 American nickel. Really happy with the finds this week!

Normally I search dimes and pennies but after reading a few pages of the nickel thread I stopped at the bank on my lunch break and picked up a box. I'm crossing my fingers for a buffalo or a V! of course, looking for old or silver jeffersons as well.

good luck finding a V nickel, 84 boxes and I haven't found one yet. Most likely you will get a buffalo or a War Nickel though. |

The oldest canadian I have found was a 1972. I'd love to get an older one. Like I stated in a previous post one time, I get more War Nickels than any date canadians. |

lets see pics of the clipped (incomplete) planchet! you can usually tell if it is real by the shape and the shape of the edge around the clip.

murrellington I would say it is a clipped, the opposite side is matching the description for clipped with the mashed border look. Nice find!

On one hand, the edge that abuts the clip are what I was looking for. but on the other hand, I don't believe the opposite side should look damaged like that - can you post this in the modern error section?
