Well, I still have about 6 rolls left out of my first $100 box of nickels, and so far I've found 1 1994 Canadian, a 1918 Buffalo, and a couple of 1936 Buffalos.
Is that pretty standard?
I'll keep reporting and maybe try and post some pictures.

I've never done a whole box of nickels.
Check that 1918 closely, there is a 1918/7 overdate that is pretty pricey.

I have gotten boxes of cents and halves, never nickels. I think I will have to try them next.

The three Buffalos is amazing! I gernerally find 1 every two boxes, and half of those are dateless. To find 3 with dates is just amazing!
If you're as superstious as me, i'd keep going to that bank!

No I wouldn't think it was stndard. When I was going through bags of nickels over twenty years ago I never turned up a single buffalo. I can't see how one to three could be "standard" today. Of course that was back in the days before coinstar which has returned a lot of older coin to circulation.

Eyeluv,
I have gone through over 40 boxes in the last month, and have only found 5 total Buffalos! AWESOME box; if you can try to go back where you got that box and see if you can get more. There must have been a solid roll of Buffalos tossed into the hopper, and there are probably more out there to be found. Keep us posted, and GOOD LUCK!

Actually, my first $100 box that produced 3 Buffalos, I purchased at a Chase Bank. The 2nd Box that I found the Buffalo in today, I purchased at a Washington Mutual Bank.

You go Eyeluv! I've been through only 82 rolls of nickels since late last month. No Buffs yet but I'm still looking  . My best finds have been two War Nickels and a '38D. Good for you! May you find more. Now....tell us how to get to the banks you're buying from   ! |

Thanks Numi 63 for the complement ! I ask the bank to buy a box of nickels, and luckily so far they are sealed and the coins in the boxes are in clear plastic wrappers.
I guess I've been lucky so far and guess what, I just bought another sealed box today because my 2 boxes of halves accidently didn't get ordered. I'll see what luck I have with these and get back with ya'll (I live in central Texas).
Have a great day and may you all have luck finding those wonderful coins !
