For years I've been trying to assemble a Jefferson nickel set from pocket change, or the occasional bank roll. I think I'm going to try this box method and see if I can get a couple of sets going. As they say: the thrill is in the hunt!

Good luck Mike! Down to 11 for my 2015 project, 6 on my second set, and 1 on my first album. It can be accomplished!

Nice skibs! You found 3 1908s and I've found 3 1911s. Funny how a date kind of finds a person.
Box #20 results
30s: (1) VG/F 1938 40s: (11) 44P, 49S (2015 hole filler) 50s: (16) 58 60s: (2) 64D, 68S AU+ (first album upgrades) 70s: (2) 70S, 78 AU (first album upgrades) 80s: (1) 81D XF (first album upgrade) 2009: 1 E/V: (6) clashes (minor) F: (5) all Canadian
I'm down to 11 missing for the 2015 project. This box was decent for getting a few upgrades and a hole filler, but pretty average overall.
Happy hunting folks!!

Thank you for the offer chip; that's the right attitude!   I'm o.k. and I've done fairly well with S mints here in Connecticut. But I do have a west coast connection where we help each other with the opposite coast specimens. Keep an eye open for a member in need, especially those new to the hobby or stuck on a spot! Many will trade to fill a spot! PS - just noticed you're west coast too; PM me if your having a hard time finding a high grade Philly specimen.
