$100 Box Of Jefferson Nickels

I found 11 in a box once, but as many folks on the forum know I worked on a project most of last year that took me through 162 $100 boxes of nickels. My goal is to go through 500 boxes; I'm just taking a break from it for now to concentrate on cents and halves for awhile. But, took a break once I completed the Jefferson set from circulation (finally found a 50D in the 8100th roll)

!!!!! First one I have ever found in circulation!!

1907 Liberty nickel

A year ago I got $44 worth of nickels from a bank in which I found 13 War Nickels: 1942P, 1944P, 1945P, 1943P x 7, and 1943S x 3.

I've never bought a box because I'm afraid I won't be able to lift it. I'm an old woman with a bad back.

I should elaborate on my nickel collection.

I have been collecting them seriously for about the past 5 years. I keep everything from 1960 and back and hold onto everything eye appealing from 1961-current.

I have Harris & Co. tubes for each year and when the tube fills up I pack it into a coin wrapper. If you were to come over to my house you would certainly run into my nickel paraphenelia.

I was just curious if my War Nickel "Strikes" were on par with the other individuals who were going through boxes.

Thanks.

meckl9,
