Finally...after about 3 years of greater and lesser volume searching. Got $40 in mixed BWR and CWR nickels and found a 39-D and 52-S. The 39-D is the last one I needed to find from circulation and it came out of one of the CWRs. Here it is:   |

mendelman - Very nice, congrats on the set. Was thinking of a nice silver gray suit coat to be awarded to the members only club. Of course with a Jefferson nickel head logo. |

Nice looking 6 pack Rackster. Ironically I just found a Czech Republic coin last hunt.

At long last, here are the totals from the first of two boxes (the S&S one).
Thirties: 2 (38, 39)
Forties CuNi: 7 (40, 41, 41-S, 42-D x2, 49, 49-D
War: 2 (43-P, 45-S hole filler- RPM TBD)
Fifties: 10 (53, 53-S x2, 54-D, 54-S, 57-D, 59-D x4)
1 blackened (1970-S)
2002 20 pence ($0.24 profit)
2005-S OIV proof
2009-D (only one)
Not great in most areas, but the wars make up for that. The 43-P is so worn that I didn't even notice the mintmark at first, but the 45-S is very nice.

Hi folks - thanks for looking. I'm surprised at how many 1937 Buffalos I've found over the years. A common find amongst the Buffalo (at 79M). Nice finding proofs! I've found that a quick wash with plain soap and warm water removes the greasy finger prints if you catch them early enough. Then a quick dip into acetone to remove any incidental finger oil transfer before putting into a flip can make a world of difference. You guys might want to explore that. I'm happy whenever I find a War Nickel, but especially the D and S mints. Finding an RPM would be even nicer! |

Yes, the War Nickels are actually still out there and more often than not at least 1 or 2 in a box. I haven't searched much lately but it is fun. |
