XoG,

Each of the updates that I post is two boxes; each box had a Fish Nickel!

Youngfee101 and AndrewC,

Tell me about it! 2009's are, at least for me, next to impossible!

Congrats on the 45-D Yinzi50 ..... that's a nice looking set you have there.

Quick update from me at 144,800 coins searched .... just found my 2nd ever 49-S, and at VF is a nice upgrade on the beat-up original find I made a while back. I give it one dancing fruit.

David

Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art

2 boxes (100 rolls) today:
Box 1 - 21 pre 60's including a 38D
Box 2 - 21 pre 60's plus 2 War Nickels. (44S and 45S)

On a different note, not a find of a nickel find but...
- I help collect and count offering for the church that I attend. (You know where this is going) Counting the $5 bills and came across a unique one. Happens to be a Silver Certificate blue seal 1934 Series. Thank the good Lord for that one...

Way to go, Yinzi50!

The 38s isn't a real killer; you should complete your set very shortly. Congratulations!

Went through two boxes this weekend. First one was my worst ever only 16 pre-60's of which 9 were 57D-58D-59D's, suppose that can't all be winners.

The second box was a different story. After going through about 15-20 boxes, I came across my first proof, an 83S...then about 6 rolls later, my second proof a 91S. Both have definitely done a little circulating, but fun finds nonetheless. That box also produced a 45D War Nickel and a total of 29 pre-60's.

I've started tallying my finds on a spreadsheet (can you tell I'm a CPA?) and here are my find-rates through 13 boxes tallied.

            rolls per per box  total
Total 30's      50.00    1.00     13
Total 40's       5.75    8.69    113
Total War       92.86    0.54      7
Total 50's       3.16   15.85    206
Pre - 60's       1.94   25.77    335
Buffalos       216.67    0.23      3
Proofs         325.00    0.15      2


And oh yeah, the 2nd box also produced a pretty rough looking 58 which was one I still needed. I'm down to 5 left (other than the 09's) 39S, 44D, 50, 50D, & 55. I'm getting there!

Amazing. That is some very serious nickels searching going on. My first box was not so lucky.
