Looking forward to seeing your results, Coinrumbles.

I've had to take some time off from collecting due to lateral epicondylitis of my right wrist.

Got home from work and the first thing I did was open the nickel roll, the tally is 11 V nickels and 34 buffalos, which is 5 extra coins in the roll!. Here are the pics of the finds. This is awesome by far the best roll I ever found. The next best was a box of nickels I had a few months ago with 12 buffalos in it. This roll will be hard to beat. The teller said could very well be more in the other rolls I picked up. She just happen to grab this roll and saw them. I will be going through the rest of the rolls later and post anything I find. Anyhow here is pics from the roll she saved for me!

A buffalo find is just as good as a silver find to me.


I actually like finding Buffalos more than silver as I find about 2.2x as many War Nickels as Buffalos. I'd also rather find a nice AU+ 2009-P over a 1943-P or 1943-S.

This is indeed a very interested topic.

Does anyone know if there is a thread that estimates the number of varieties per date per coin denomination? If not, does anyone know how many coins can die strike before it is retired? I am guessing coin material and coin size may affect the life of the die. Either I couldn't find this information online or the range was too great to make an educated guess.

BTW, I found these two War Nickels couple of nights ago. Too bad only 1943 is silver. Oh Well!

Looks like I'll be joining in. Picked up my first box of nickels yesterday. I will probably start searching over the weekend.
