So on Wednesday it happened AGAIN... and not once, but twice... with the same teller... my standard 1000 MWR brought me a single 2009-D and 8 pre-60s, including these two!
The-Goal:-25,000-Rolls-Of-Nickels-All-Searchers-Welcome!

I've now found 5 V nickels this year, incredibly, they've all come from MWR from the same teller!

This time it was a 1903 and a 1912. My first ever found of BOTH dates...
The-Goal:-25,000-Rolls-Of-Nickels-All-Searchers-Welcome!

I've now found every V nickel made from 1900-1912 except for 1905, 1906, 1908, 1909, and, not surprisingly, the rare 1912-S.

So good was this group that I made an unscheduled visit to my bank the next day to get the rest of said box... no luck (actually only 3 pre-60s amongst 1000 MWR)...

Wow man! Send some of that good juju this way, John77!

It's been a roller coaster week in SC as it seems our hunts are turning up fewer and fewer finds (maybe 1 out of every 4-5 rolls) but overall quality has been good. We're on a silver streak with one of our last 3 slots filled after a 45 D turned up, plus we also pulled a 44 P and an elusive 43 D. One dateless Buffalo that was slicker than snot and now just waiting to slot a 44 D and the 50 D.

Thanks all. Another 40 rolls searched yesterday and it was a solid hunt. Lots of pre-1960...17 including a solitary War Nickel (44 P...we needed the D!), a 1923 P buffalo, and a few other AU/UNC newer nickels to go in a second album that dates from 1938 to current.

One of the rolls was all UNC 2014 P except for a lonely 62 D, but still happy to keep the silver streak going. Now to reroll them all...

Will try, pound_foolish... I've had a 4 1/2 month run of good luck with nickels, almost entirely from ONE teller - you can't have her lol.
-----
Another amazing week of finds, almost all from my same lucky teller...
7/24: 1,000 MWR produced only 6 pre-60s, but they included a 1942-S and a 1950!
The-Goal:-25,000-Rolls-Of-Nickels-All-Searchers-Welcome!

7/26: My teller slipped me a lone CWR that she had received - not a single coin in the roll was dated after 1974 - most were pre-1965.. there were 12 pre-60s including a 1943-S!
The-Goal:-25,000-Rolls-Of-Nickels-All-Searchers-Welcome!
The-Goal:-25,000-Rolls-Of-Nickels-All-Searchers-Welcome!
The-Goal:-25,000-Rolls-Of-Nickels-All-Searchers-Welcome!
The 960 MWR she gave me only had four pre-60s, but they also included this nice 1988-P MAD (10% off-center on the obverse)!
The-Goal:-25,000-Rolls-Of-Nickels-All-Searchers-Welcome!

7/27: They sent my teller to another branch for the day... her fill-in only had 240 CWR, but they were productive - 4 pre-60s including this shiny 1953-D!
The-Goal:-25,000-Rolls-Of-Nickels-All-Searchers-Welcome!

7/28: My teller was back and 1,000 MWR produced 8 pre-60s including 1942-S and 1945-S War Nickels!
The-Goal:-25,000-Rolls-Of-Nickels-All-Searchers-Welcome!

7/29: Bought 1,120 nickels (280 MWR, 840 CWR) from two branches... only 5 pre-60s between them including the tough '53-S, but there was a 2009-P and a 2009-D (both a little damaged) amongst the other coins.

When you say 1000 MWR, do you mean 1000 nickels ($50), or do you mean 1000 $2 rolls? Either way, that's a lot of nickels to go through every few days!

Four War Nickels and a semi key date? Can't get mad at that.
