Poll Question
My kids and I are half-way through a box of MWRs of nickels, with 25 more rolls to go. When we first opened up the box, we noticed that one of the end-rollers was a V-nickel ( http://goccf.com/t/179454&whichpage=27#2470441 ). This was surprising; what are the odds that what is presumably the best coin in the box is on the end? Now, 20 rolls in we found a second V-nickel. As of right now, the first half of the box has yielded 2 V-nickels. So, the question is: will there be any more in the second half of the box? We'll get to work and update soon. I'm predicting one more, on the assumption we've caught part of a coin-dump. But, what say you?

What I voted and what I wish upon you are not the same. I hope you find many more, but I am guessing you will find one more.

I voted one more. The only box I've gotten had a War Nickel ender. It turned out to be the only one in the box and no V's or Buffalos. Good luck! In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020

Lately, when it comes to yes or no questions, it seems I have usually been wrong for some reason. So my vote goes to 'no.'  |

Carnak predicts you will find a lot of good nickels in this box.  Edited by TNG

3 or more,
BUT
that requires for a collector to re circulate all of his non collectible culls.
OTHERWISE
about the same chance of a snowflake surviving an atomic bomb blast.

It's possible to have a V-Nickel cull dump but the odds are against you .  |

Actually, there's a pretty good amount of detail on the reverse of that 1885 on the end of that roll.  |

There has to be at least one more.  |

Is that an "S" mintmark sticking up from the edge of the crimp on that V nickel? |

Thanks, everyone! We finished the box and sadly there were no more V-Nickels. I shouldn't complain though. V-Nickels are, in my experience, very hard to find, and I'm thrilled with the two we found. Pictures here: http://goccf.com/t/24785&whichpage=695#2471438

Well, still better than none at all. |
