you can build a complete War Nickels set by searching, though you'll probably need to look through 100 to 200 thousand nickels or so |

Nice find, always a good feeling to come across silver in circulation. Quote:you can build a complete War Nickels set by searching, though you'll probably need to look through 100 to 200 thousand nickels or so Following is my data. I shared here on the CCF my quest to build a complete set of Jefferson nickels via roll searching, a goal achieved at 320,800 nickels searched. Although I stopped CRH in late 2019, I did keep very detailed data on my find rates and published several long threads on the topic. For War Nickels - I found one on average every 2,861 nickels searched. This is equivalent to one War Nickel per 71.5 rolls searched. The most difficult to find is a tie between the 1942-S and 1944-S where I found 2 of each at 394,800 nickels searched when I stopped looking, This is equivalent to one find on average every 197,400 nickels searched. So yes - a complete set of War Nickels can be found with patient CRH. @nick10 - your estimate is in range based on my data set. edit for spllgening Edited by nickelsearcher
