The Goal: 25,000 Rolls Of Nickels (All Searchers Welcome!)

Thanks, jbuck!

On Saturday, I scooped up another 4,400 nickels from five different banks. I found a total of 47 pre-60s including a 1935 Buffalo, 1943-P, 1945-D, and 1945-S (2) War Nickels, one each of 1949-S, 1951-S, and 1958 Philly, along with a nice little obverse 1980-D MAD. I was also very happy to find TEN 2009-Ds amongst the rolls!

Nice finds, John77! Went through a box this past weekend, and we found (3) 1943S Silver War Nickels in the first 25 rolls of the box. None in the 2nd half of the box, but a fun hunt nonetheless!

I searched for a $40 Nickels MWR but I founds a 8 Pre-60s.
Oldest has a 1940 Old Jefferson nickels.
HAPPY HUNTING!

I am starting to dump any nickel except Buffalo nickels, silver WW2 nickels, and low mintage nickels that I know of. I have way too many pre-1960 nickels, so I am dumping a bunch hoping another collector may find them in rolls and cherish them just like I did. I did find a 1950-D nickel, which I kept because I know those are rare. I still have some more nickel rolls to look through.

We've done the same. Typically catch and release of any common 50's nickels, but we've still been keeping all the 1940-1950 nickels. Will probably do a release of the common ones at some point.

Our box this weekend was alright. Highlights were 3 2009Ds, a 53S and 54S along with one 1944P Silver.

I searched for a $20 Nickels MWR but I founds a 4 Pre-60s.
Oldest has a 1941 Old Jefferson nickels.
HAPPY HUNTING!

I spent Saturday afternoon into Sunday morning going through another box of nickels purchased on 2-12-2020 and found 1944-P and 1945-S War Nickels, along with a 1948-S amongst 17 pre-60s, 5 2009-Ds, my first three 2020-D dated coins and a 1951 Belgium 1 Franc coin.



On 2-15-2020, I bought another 6,120 nickels, finding 76 pre-60s (31 were out of a batch of 25 MWR purchased at a local Wells Fargo - likely from that same fruitful batch I first stumbled upon on 1-8-2020 which had 51 pre-60s). There were 1943-P, 1943-S, and 1945-S War Nickels along with a 1938 Philly and a 1951-S and a total of 6 2009-Ds.

3 keepers from $40 in nickels. A nice 1938-S along with 1935 and 1936 Buffalos to keep it company.
