I have quietly added to this update a coin I found about 1000 rolls ago. I pulled what appeared to be a 1953 Henning Counterfeit; based on preliminary analysis it appears to be one. If proven otherwise I will take it off the list.

Half way through a $200.00 bag of nickels I purchased from my local bank today ( from their Coin Counting Machine)

1- 1938D
1-1945S

and then I found this:

1915S Buffalo

Thanks to CND for offering the detailed year/mm summary at 12,500 rolls. That is very helpful to me as I compare find rates ....... so far we are tracking quite close and it gives me encouragement that I will someday finish my quest.

I did note of interest CND that you found another 1990d no designer initials in your latest report ........ since you mentioned this variety a while back I have been looking ..... but none yet.

Great score Chuckster ...... that surely beats my best Buffalo find. What a joy to come across something like this in circulation.

Last night I passed through 3,000 rolls (120,000 coins) ..... I'll submit my usual 10,000 coin rate summary just as soon as life slows down.

Love the buffalo's. I found a 1923 last night. That makes 9 since the beginning of August when I started doing nickels.

120 rolls today! ( String box, 37 Brinks & 33 Customer wrapped) Yielded 54 pre 1960, 3 War Nickels (43S,45P,45D) and 2 dateless Buffalo (one appears to have been plated in the past and the other is an S mint). The String box yielded 2-1938 nickels. I've been heavily searching nickels for months and these are the first 2 and they came from same box!

40 rolls today and finally found a 1939D. It is not in great shape but it is one I need for the set. Down to 4 left to complete the set.I still need a 38S,43D,44S and 2009 D.

I agree! I am not really worried about that one though,if I find the other 3 I need I will consider the set complete and hope to pick one up in change or rolls sometime down the road. I do feel like I will find the 3 I need real soon. January 2010 will be the one year mark for nickel roll searching so it would be cool if I found the 3 I need before mid-January rolls around!
