How many War Nickels do you usually find on average per box? my average is about 1/2 per box |

mine is right around 1 for every 50 rolls searched or $100...that is about the average here for most people on this forum...it all depends on where you live and if someone just unloaded a lot into circulation without knowing what they had....surprised 10 halves has not found one yet

I'm at a steady 1.5 or so. Last w/4 was a bonanza. This time 5 yrs. ago, you could pull 6.
It's our own fault, people get wise when they start seeing crazy $$ for a roll. The varietys are ever a constant though,
dont know why I gotta gettem all.

Nice finds everyone. Sam, I guess I find an average of 1 to 2 per box of $100. I haven't been keeping track of how many boxes, or rolls, I have sorted. Just a guess though. Maybe if I actually kept track of it and found out it was low, I would get a little discouraged.  I guess ignorance on my part is bliss.  I picked up 2 boxes today. Guess you know what I'm doing tonight. I'll post the results later. |

Lots of 2009's, but not much else.

Results from Box 1: A really nice 1935-S Buffalo. The pictures don't do it justice.   These both got my heart racing until I turned them over and didn't find a mintmark.  Other finds: 1 2009-D 22 pre-1960 On to box #2. |

Ouch, out of 91 boxes I've only had 7 1950's. So to get 2 in one box would make my heart race as well. the 50d is the only one left I need. I kinda stopped searching during school though.
