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

An update on this thread:

This thread isn't dead, I have just been really busy at work, and have been devoting a lot of time to cent roll searching. I have two updates to post which I will get around to doing pretty soon! Last box I checked contained an MS 1938, which was a big surprise!

I just found another 1990 D no FS!!
looking forward to the update

I have been through 178 boxes and have looked at EVERY 90D, and have found ZERO without the FS!

Great finds, Cole317!

As I type, I am working on four updates, and have two more boxes to go through. Of course, it wasn't too much fun tonight when I was attempting to carry the two boxes plus some groceries into my apartment and I dropped one of the boxes. In the rain. Paper wrapped! BIG CLEANUP!

Should have made two trips!

Here's another one, along with photos of a couple of nicer finds from these two boxes!

Decent Cud!

nice Cud! I have an 83 of the same type and die. Yours seems to be in better condition though.
-XoG

Yeah well I've been through 38 boxes and have found 15 silvers, 5 buffalo, and 2 1990 no FS, so I would LOVE to get my averages anywhere near your guys' and I WANT A LIBERTY V NICKE!. I mean honestly, my averages suck hard. But you motivate me so i'll keep dreaming of a box that will bring my averages up!
- Love to see your updating again, your finds are awesome especially the 1913 type 2!

Hey CND PM me I ended up with two of the 1990 No FS nickels. I think I traded maybe meckl9 for it. It was a kind gesture and a fair trade but if I have two, I think you need one of them. Mine are both about the same condition. Probably described best as a tad baggy and nicky XF45's. Let me know if you want it. Maybe down the road you can throw the poor w-dog a bone.
