CLS12 Pillar of the Community United States 509 Posts	Posted 01/31/2017 4:14 pm Picked up 10 rolls for first time in at least a year... 1st roll 1927 Buffalo.. 10th and final roll 1943 p War Nickel!! Couldn't believe it. I've always had decent luck with finding buffalos, but must have searched 10-12 boxes and have only found 1 war nick a couple of years ago.... might need to scratch the CRH hunt itch again later this week.

John77 Pillar of the Community United States 2949 Posts	Posted 01/31/2017 7:08 pm Been super busy of late... but I have had some continued success... the past few days have brought me some really tough-to-find coins... This past few days of CRH, I've found only my 2nd 1955 Philly nickel (3rd ever), my first EVER 1970 Canadian nickel (a very low mintage coin-only 5.7 million made), and a double-clipped planchet 1964-D!

John77 Pillar of the Community United States 2949 Posts	Posted 01/31/2017 10:42 pm Thanks, berto! And nice finds for you too! Love the silver and the old AU+ stuff. Funny with the 1955 Philly... it came up obverse first and it looked different than the other 1955 coins I had seen... I almost knew it was that elusive Philly before I even turned it over... the other one I found CRH came up reverse side up and I thought it was just going to be another 1964 coin when I flipped it over. In general, the 1955 Philly coins are much more "mushy" in appearance on both sides of the coin than their Denver counterparts... the 1970 Canadian nickel came out of a CWR and I thought to myself "that's the one I'm missing, isn't it?" The scan doesn't do it justice - probably would grade out at MS-62 or so. I just put it in a 2x2 as my Canadian Nickels album only goes up to 1962. I seriously don't want this month to end... it's been AMAZING! CRH Nickeloholic. 1,600,000 nickels searched in eight years! Have found FOUR complete Jefferson sets!

Rackster Pillar of the Community United States 4809 Posts	Posted 02/01/2017 06:44 am Nice finds folks. I completed a box (first in a long while) but haven't tallied the finds yet. John - difficult finding 1955's but even harder finding one that isn't mushy. I've found a few but maybe only 1 appears like the Denver counterparts. It has me wondering.

aristarchus123 Pillar of the Community United States 1696 Posts	Posted 02/01/2017 07:20 am Great find on the double clip, John77! Nice finds for $80, berto. You're making money, in addition to getting great coins! Report this Post to the Staff
John77 Pillar of the Community United States 2949 Posts	Posted 02/01/2017 07:47 am Thanks, rackster and aristarchus. I've been REALLY hitting the nickels hard. Averaging around 10 boxes worth a week so far this year. They only made a little over 8 million of those 1955 Philly coins. I do wonder how many dies they used. I've got a handful that aren't so "mushy" looking, but those were all bought at coin shops. It's tied with the 1943-D for my 3rd hardest coin to find (only the 1939-D & 1950-D have been harder). Yes, the making money part is good! CRH Nickeloholic. 1,600,000 nickels searched in eight years! Have found FOUR complete Jefferson sets!

John77 Pillar of the Community United States 2949 Posts	Posted 02/01/2017 2:44 pm A roll short of a box yesterday only produced 14 pre-60s, but one was a War Nickel... and I also found a 2009-P.

Loco Valued Member United States 127 Posts	Posted 02/02/2017 06:14 am I recently found this beauty. Looks like it just came from the mint!! Edited by Loco 02/02/2017 06:21 am Report this Post to the Staff
John77 Pillar of the Community United States 2949 Posts	Posted 02/02/2017 07:45 am WOW, Loco! It's truly amazing to see someone find a mint state Buffalo in circulation. I've found mint state 1938 and 1939 Jeffersons in my CRH adventures, but those are nothing compared to your find! Congrats! CRH Nickeloholic. 1,600,000 nickels searched in eight years!

aristarchus123 Pillar of the Community United States 1696 Posts	Posted 02/02/2017 8:42 pm Great-looking coin, Loco! Awesome V-Nickel find, John77! I have yet to find one this year, and last year I only found two. It has been over six months, so I'm due! My box tonight only yielded a dateless buffalo and a pineapple: Report this Post to the Staff
