Good finds I think nickels have been better to CRH than others I had a skunk on a box of halves. I got 2 boxes of nickels and least found 2 rolls of any worth saving. A 38s and 2 39s, 43P silver and lots of 46 to 54s 50p and 39p no D. I think more folks searching non silver and silver going dry I still need a 39D and another 50d.
And cabowabo, it was quite the eventful day... I truely LOVE the randomness of this hobby, especially when things like this happen... I found as many 1950 Philly nickels (7) that day as I find in an average year - found 6 in 2016, and 8 in 2017!

That's quite the story!! I haven't searched nickel rolls in years. Your story has motivated me to perhaps give it a try again.
Glad it was inspiring!
Some of my other great nickel finds over the past two years: A roll which included 30 Buffaloes, 4 Vs and 3 Proofs A full roll of 40 War Nickels A partial box (44 rolls) which included 170 pre-60 Jeffersons. A sister box had 37 pre-60s. Amongst the 207 pre-60 coins were 1938-D, 1938-S and AU 1939-D Jeffersons. A hoard of 5 rolls which included 98 pre-60s.
Good luck!
