2009-P roll find!! Only my SECOND one EVER and that's after 75 plus boxes! Compare that to finding ONE each of the key dates after 75 boxes: 38-S, 39-D, 50-D.

Sorted 5 rolls today and found a 29 Buffalo (first ever Buffalo found) and a 43P War Nickel ... don't often sort nickels, but that was really awesome for so few coins sorted! |

Box 88. the streak without silver continues ... I wonder if people are done cashing in their change from the Great Recession ...
found 2 2009P's.
Also found 3 pre-1982 Canadian Nickels. I now have a whole roll of the pre-1982 Canadian nickels (100% Nickel). What do I do with a roll of nickel nickels?
didn't find much else in box 88.

I've actually done it, guys. I have managed to find a 1913S T2 before finding a 1950D. I looked through $60 of machine wrapped nickels today and came out with zero older Jeffersons, but 2 buffalos: a 1926, and a dateless. This dateless buffalo was an ugly one: brown color, scratched, and pitted. A drop of nic-a-date on both the date and mintmark area revealed the year 1913, and a barely discernable S.     So there it is. It's not pretty by any means, but I'm that much closer to completing a set of buffalos from roll searching. (who am I kidding that's not going to happen) Edited by Kefiroth

Just finished up a box of nickels. Found 230 pre-1982 99.9% nickels, which is around the most I have ever found in a single box. Also found a 1940 and a 1941 King George VI nickels, four 12-sided nickels, a 1945 Victory Nickel, and 6 dimes.  |

There's no way I'd be able to take a picture good enough to see the date, much less the barely visible mintmark on my 1913S.
Only thing I have to take pictures with is my iPod Nano.

canadacoinhunting: is it legal in canada to melt those old Nickel nickels? Do people hoard them like they hoard the pre 1982 copper cents here?
I just got my first full roll of these older canadian nickels - but have no clue what to do with them.
