Tonight's box:

2014 Canadian
I got a foreign coin like BigAppleBucky which I think is Greek.
A Mexican coin.

The later two will go to my son.

I picked up 20 CWRs of nickels yesterday and today found each one contains from $0.20 to $0.25 too much! ALL of them are the same "long" length. I'm coming out ahead on this deal even if I do not find any keepers

Will update with finds later.

Didn't find much worth keeping in the 20 "long" rolls of nickels I mentioned above:

1939
1941-S
1955

3, 99% nickel Canadian nickels

In total, I came out $5.00 ahead

Well, they didn't have nice coins to give (the 1955 isn't bad though), but apparently a few to spare.

11/15 search results -

- 2000 nickels searched
- 30s, 1 1939
- 40s, 17 (41S Large, 43D, 49S)
- 50s, 20 (1955D in VF)
- 60s, 2 (60D, 63 both AU)
- 70s+, 4 with nothing remarkable
- 2009, 1 returned to the wild
- S Mint, 8 with a couple of keepers
- Variety/Error, 3 clash, 1 lamination?, 1 DDR?

The '39 came up in the second roll searched and I hoped like heck it would have a D, but nada. Oh well, the search continues...

Stopped by the bank where I found the "long" rolls Friday and bought all the CWRs they had, which was $46 worth...No long rolls

Oh well, I found:
1938
1940-S
No wars
1946-D
1947-S
1949
1953-S
1954-S

Unfortunately, none of the above are in great condition. Oh well, better luck next time

1 bag yielded zero wars, zero buffs, normal amount of pre-60 nickels.

Also for a nice upgrade in the 40's - forget which year

Couple hole fillers.
2009 - D
2001 - S Proof

And this one. I thought the mint mark was a little close to the year. Is this a tolerable level? First one I have seen this way.
