Thanks and congrats! Traded in 16 rolls of nickels for another 16 Loomis rolls today. Out of these, I found a 1934-P chrome-plated Buffalo nickel, a 1950-P (album filler), and a 1972-S proof. All in all, not a bad haul. Just 11 holes left to fill now. Cheers!  |

This week only 1 box. I think I didn't do to bad. 1 1936 buffalo, 1 1946S for the book, a couple of 69&70S ,1 1939, and some 40 & 50 for safe keeping. I'm down to 9 more to fill the books 38 to 23.

For those interested, my cumulative totals for 7 1/2 years of Jefferson nickel CRH... I'll do a more comprehensive one soon which includes, Buffalo, V, and Proof nickels, along with varieties I've found such as the 1939 Doubled Monticello and Five Cents and the 1943P, 3/2... but this gives you an idea what going through 1.5652 MILLION coins might yield if you're in my neck of the woods...

Quality over quantity wins again... only 4 pre-60s in my batch of 1,000 CWR today, but one of them was the always difficult-to-find 1938-P (the others were 1941, 1941-D, and 1941-S)... the best find though was the coin on the right - struck from a very heavily greased right obverse die... the "We Trust" from the motto and the "2005" date are both completely missing as is most of the word "Liberty" - the "D" mintmark somehow survived lol.

YES!!! So good to see first-year issues in circulation!!! Very nice. VERY nice.
I was pretty excited to get $80 in circulated rolls from a branch yesterday that usually performs pretty well, like one find every 2.5-3 rolls.
We didn't turn up many (only 12 pre-1960 in 40 rolls) but the best were a 1958 P, which we seem to find with some frequency, and a lovely 1939 S.

My saying is always "Quality over quantity"... hitting on one of the five key Jeffersons and a sub 20M coin like the 58-P is ALWAYS a big win. Congrats, pound_foolish!!

Agreed!
Thank you all for sharing, too. I always look forward to reading what y'all are picking out of rolls.
Looking back a couple weeks ago, we had a similar experience, lots of rolls with just a few finds but that time a 1939 D. I'll take quality over quantity all day. We had a run of Buffalos for a bit that spiced things up, and we always do manage to pull something fun out of the circulated rolls we get locally. Will be in WA state and Hawaii for a couple weeks and will be bringing cash with us to see what faraway lands bring.
