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.

Quote: 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.

Went through 3,240 coins yesterday, found 33 pre-60s including 3 more silvers and 5 2009-Ds...

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.
