I agree HalfCrazy with Ratman list of keepers .... but would add the 1949-S with a mintage of 9.7 million to the 'keepers'

I knew I was missing one, but couldn't remember which.....it's rough getting old!

I agree with Nickelsearcher and Ratman on what constitute keepers.

In my 15 years of coin collecting I have found 42-D, 49-S, 50, 51-S, & 55 keepers
I found 49-S and 50 pretty early on roll searching, before finding some of the more common dates. I found 55 about 10 years ago while working registers at K-mart. I got back into roll searching this year and found 42-D. I also found 51-S recently when I looked through my dad's coin bank while visiting my folks 5 hours away.
Not surprisingly, I have not found duplicates of any of these dates.
Makes me glad I was in the right places at the right times to find them.

to the forum RRDiesel87! Nice find on the 1950. I've been searching 8-10 boxes a week for the last month and have only found one. Are you searching Brinks Boxes? They have been pretty good here lately. In the last month I've found a 1911 Liberty nickel, 17 Buffalo(including a 1913 T2) and 38 War Nickels as well as some better date Jeffersons (1939D,1942D-2,1949S-2,1950,1951S-2,1955)

thanks, I'm pretty new to roll searching, I just went to the bank and asked for a box its blue and had all shotgun rolls so I'm assuming its a fed box. I've gone through 3 so far and they all have been decent. thats actually the second 1950 I've found in the past 2 months the other one showed up in my register at work

other stuff I've found in them that was good was a 1949S and a I'm guessing AU 1945P War Nickel

Today 3 Brinks boxes and 10 crappy customer wrapped rolls (only 1 Pre 1960). The Brinks were pretty good though. 1906 Liberty (Fine details corroded), 1936 Buffalo and 4 War Nickels (1942P, 1942S, 1944P-2). Better dates were 1942D and 1955, and 77 other pre 1960 including an AU 1939 and XF 1948. Also found a 1965 that I think might have come from a SMS.
Diesel, the Brinks Boxes have plastic wrapped rolls and I've been finding better stuff in them than String & Sons shotgun rolls (white with blue printing).

Found a first in a new box I picked up yesterday. A two headed coin...I'm sure it's a one of a kind mint error...probably worth thousands.

Or I suppose someone may have cut two nickels in half and glued/soddered them together...come to think of it that's probably what it is. But they really did a great job on it, had to pull out my loupe to confirm that the edge did show a seam where two were put together.

Definitely a keeper in my book.

And I have to mention my kids did think it was REALLY cool, and my wife hoped that my time looking at coins was finally gonna pay off for her with a trip to Tahiti...but no such luck.

Today,130 rolls, (Brinks box 50, String 19, Customer wrapped 61). String were junk, and very little out of the customer wrapped. 3 War Nickels (43P,44P, 44? Fire damaged) The sole Dateless Buffalo must have been from the same fire as it was black also. The only hard to find date was a 2009P (3rd found from customer wrapped rolls). 69 other pre 1959. Best find today was a 2006P with a very nice die crack on the reverse running through Monticello rim to rim! I actually found it because I could feel the crack with my finger as I was looking at the obverse. (it was sharp and I thought at first it was a deep scratch) Picture posted in error forum if interested.

I assume you are talking about the Henning counterfeits. They have been discussed here numerous times. You might try a forum search and read through them. I don't know of a good site, I've tried before.

Breed59 ..... the forum family experienced a series of Henning nickels in the past few months ..... photos and descriptions were posted.

with Ratman ..... do a search and you'll find lots of information.

I recall starting a thread about how to identify these ...... it should show up in a search ..... but .... if you have troubles then send a note to the world-class Admin-Dudes and they will help you out.

Nice finds for your first box HalfCrazy! Was it a Brinks box? Are you building a set?
Keep an eye out for proofs also!
