Searched a couple rolls of MWRs while waiting for my truck to warm up after work this morning. Pulled this 1910. It's beat up but still made my morning.   |

Great coins, Big7mag! The 1940-P is in great shape.
Mountainman2, wow! V-Nickels are the best discoveries.

Big7 - I would keep both the 62D and the 40. I build complete rolls for each date/mm so if a coin beats one of the 40 I have it gets a place. Check the 62D for DDO and DDR. There are a few good ones to be had. If you're lucky enough to find one in a high grade that one coin is worth more than the rest of your finds combined. Post clear photos of IGWT and EPU/USA. We might be able to let you know if you got lucky! Nice finds everyone. |

...Here is what I pulled: 1920 buffalo, 1940s, 1940, I only kept the 1962 becuz I thought it was in descent shape. I also kept the plain 1940 because I thought it was in descent shape. There were a lot more of them made than the 1940d. Tell me what y'all think. Would you keep these two or toss them back. I found it interesting you were considering tossing back the 1940 and the 1962d. They are in nice condition and I would keep them both. What else I find interesting, and I am guilty of at times, is if you were considering tossing those two, why wouldn't you consider tossing back the Buffalo as well? The short answer why I would not consider tossing the Buffalo is because it is a Buffalo. The reason why I am posing this question is to consider the possible values of all three coins. Here are some sold ebay listings for each of these coins and mintages: 1920 Buffalo, 63,093,000, similar condition, sold for $1.00 http://www.ebay.com/itm/1920-5C-Buf...047675.l25571940 Jefferson, 176,485,000, I couldn't find anything comparable. Many of the ebay listings have full or partial steps which will skew it for your 1940. From what I can tell there is little steps left. This is the closest I could find with steps but not as good condition overall. It sold for $1.23. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1940-P-CIRC...mHIzr7RR4jqg1962d Jefferson, 280,195,720, similar condition, sold for $0.99 http://www.ebay.com/itm/1962-D-Jeff...047675.l2557Their values are roughly the same so why not consider tossing all three instead of just the two? Why not keep all three if there is a potential $3.00 value? |

I would always keep a buffalo no matter the condition. I am relatively new to coin roll hunting. I have very little knowledge of grading coins and their values which is why I guess I was asking. I know to keep the buffalos and Buffalo nickels. Now that I know that better condition coins are worth more even when there plenty made I will be keeping them. I usuallly am a half roll hunter and typically just keep silver and proofs. |

Big 7 - can you post clearer pictures of your 62D? The reverse looks a little more interesting to me, but the pictures are quite sharp enough.
As to what to keep and what to toss, it really comes down to the individual. Several volume hunters here don't have the time or interest in searching for varieties. I think I noted in another thread the John moves through $5K of coins a week. Juxtaposed, it would take me about a week to do a single box looking for varieties. To the comment Big7 made, knowing and not knowing makes the difference between saving a good coin, accumulating a hoard, or missing a good coin altogether. Identifying what it is you want to collect will help reduce the likelihood of tossing a good coin back.
Good luck folks...no matter what your interests are.

Since I found the buffalo and War Nickel in the first box. I'd eciddd to get another on my way home today at a different branch but same bank. My favorite finds were the V nickel of course and the 1938s. I also found a 1966 in the same condition as the 1962. The last picture is the back of the 1962 rackster. Oh and the V nickel was an ended!    |

Me: Oh wow. This could be it! Turn it over and tell me if there is a mintmark. Wife: Where would it be? Me: Near the building on the right. Wife: There is. Me: No way. Really, what is it? Wife: A "D". Me: No way! No way! No way! Let me see! Wife. Stop yelling. You are being loud. Me: That's amazing! That's it!   It was in a Brinks machine-wrapped clear plastic roll. |

A123 - Congratulations on the final piece! It looks to be in fine shape as well. Nice way to head into 2017! Big7 - here's a link you can try. You'll need to scroll past all the listings for the 1962 Philly coins, but there are a couple there with a tilted MM like yours; just can't tell from the pictures if you have one of the DDR varieties. Good luck! https://www2.briansvarietycoins.com...tings/cat/35 And congrat's on the V nickel - that's a fun find! |

Sweet find, aristarchus123! My son and I did a box of nickels over the Christmas Break and it was not very fruitful. Zero War Nickels, no buffalos, no 2009s or hole fillers. We did find 21 pre-60 nickels, but most were 57d, 58d, and 59d, so they were thrown back. Best find was a 1942P (not silver). |
