Ok... I'll stop the suspense...  And it gets better... some of the coins actually had dates... and amongst the coins was a 1913 Type 1... some are mintmarked. CRH Nickeloholic. 1,600,000 nickels searched in eight years! Have found FOUR complete Jefferson sets!

Am hoping one of the mintmarked coins is a nice, scarce or rare early date. Fingers crossed!  I will update as dates are revealed.  CRH Nickeloholic. 1,600,000 nickels searched in eight years!

Well John77 for me personally, I would be thrilled to of found those even if a majority of them were dateless. Good coins to hand out to grandchildren and or other kids in your neighborhood. You never know, it could be the start of a a youngster getting involved in the hobby.  Mark,   |

I won some Buffalo nickels at an online auction: one roll dateless, one roll full date (their claim). I already have the ND roll and plan to try them out in self-checkout lines. I will search dates/mm on the other roll, and probably use them as change buying meals or non-self-checkout lines. The ND roll was actually a dollar or two more than the FD roll.  |

The word "dateless" doesn't scare me on Buffalo rolls anymore as I've been extremely successful at pickling them (only 3 fails in almost 100 coins). Amongst my best pickled, formerly dateless finds are a 1914-D and a 1921-S. CRH Nickeloholic. 1,600,000 nickels searched in eight years! Have found FOUR complete Jefferson sets!

I am going back there first thing in the morning tomorrow, before heading off to another neighboring city for dumping and picking up... FYI, it's my 4th 1913 T-1 I've found... It's the next to last coin in the 6th row of the big picture. CRH Nickeloholic. 1,600,000 nickels searched in eight years! Have found FOUR complete Jefferson sets!

I see it! That's spectacular to get these from a bank. I will be looking forward to the date results on the others. In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020
