Box #20... no wars or buffs (still at 28 silver and 8 buffs, which is nothing to complain about).
I did find my first two clips. Both are small (one is really small), but there is no questioning what they are. Happy to find them.
Also found a 1960 with ''bars'' (chips) over a few letters and the 0. A handful or minor clashes and cracks, most tossed back.
One fish nickel and 0 Canadians (strange).

Hi Rachums,
Thanks for the welcome! I remember reading that you and I think Gothic were both in NH. I am in SNH as well, near Manchester. I used to live in Nashua for a year before I bought a house.

Just found my first awesome coin ever!
1939 Double Montecello!
I tried to take a picture with phone, but can't get close enough. What is the name of the magnifier stand that everyone uses to take pictures?

Did two boxes yesterday. Here are the Results.
Box #5
33 pre '60
1943-D War (hole filler, I'm only on box 5 so quite a few holes)
1944-S War (hole filler)
17 S mint
2009-D x2
1984 Canadian nickel
Box #5
26 pre '60
1944-P War (hole filler)
18 S mint
2009-D x1
1979-S Proof
1984 Canadian nickel
Nickels have been my favorite denomination to search because:
- I can search them twice as fast as pennies
- Not usually covered in crud like pennies
- A box is cheap (compared to quarters and halves)
- I average at least 25 pre '60 keepers per box VS about 10 per box with pennies (wheats)
- There are sometimes silver
I love searching them and I'm gonna keep doing it 'till my books are full.
Are there any error varieties that I should look for?
