The Goal: 25,000 Rolls Of Nickels (All Searchers Welcome!)

Wait... so you posted a fake picture of a coin you already had but planted in the roll?

Ha! Good one. You got me

You could put the box on ebay and say that their is probably gold in every roll like the rest of the scammer do and get $10K for a $100 box of nickels

Of course I would never do that, but I'm most of the way through the box and so far, it's been very good to me.

One of my better boxes. 31 pre-1960 Nickels, including two 1939's, a 1943-S, a 1944-P, and a 1945-D.

Here are my totals for the box (besides the half eagle ).

Buffalo: 1 (I may be able to get a date off it without pickling, I'll see)
2009-D x2
1996-P struck-through grease
Canadian x2- 1984, 2006 (cupronickel)
War: 1- 1943-P (closer in color to a cupronickel coin than a War Nickel)
Other pre-60- (hole fillers are in bold) 1939 x2 (one is blackened), 1939-S , 1940, 1941 x2, 1946, 1951-D, 1952, 1953-D, 1953-S, 1954-S, 1956 , 1956-D x3 , 1958-D x3, 1959, 1959-D x2

Unfortunately, the 39-S has fresh roller damage.

I tried to get a date off the buffalo, but had to put it in vinegar. It's so close- you can see where the digits are, but can't actually read them.

By the way, here are a few of the stats that excel keeps track of for me-
216 pre-60 total out of $768 searched (1.41% of all coins)
Teens: 2 (1 P, 1 D)
Twenties: 0
Thirties: 16 (15 P, 1 S)
Forties: 84 (45 P, 19 D, 20 S)
Fifties: 114 (19 P, 80 D, 15 S)
Total by mint: 80 P, 100 D, 36 S
War: 6 (4 different dates)
Mintages below 10 million: 4 (all different dates, 1.85% of all pre-60)
2009: 2 P, 13 D
Proof: 3
Canadian: 15 (11 cupronickel, 4 plated)
Foreign: 3

I was also wondering who here has found the speared bison. I check all the D-mint bison nickels I find, and I get a lot of them (often up to 3 per roll).

Cool! Glad it was a good box! As for the speared bison, I got a roll of them in the last box but no luck either.
