I was able to obtain 100 dollars today in nickel rolls from my Credit Union. So... My favorite finds out of the batch. I am quite surprised how many 38, and 41's I found. All Philly, except the two 41 Denver.  Couple of 47's and a 48  And... the Best of all, a highly warn 1943 - S silver War Nickel!  This is also only the second one that I've ever found in the wild.

Always get a kick finding silver in the wild.
Look out for Henning nickels too.

What exactly should I be looking for? What years?

There are many posts here in regards to the Henning nickels. The years are 1939, 1944, 1946, 1947, and 1953, type Henning in the search field on the side bar. Here's a article if you are interested to find out more about it. https://coinweek.com/a-collectible-...ing-nickels/Edited by macmercury

Nice! I searched a box only once and I believe I ended up with one single War Nickel as well.  In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020
In Memory of Tootallious 3-31-1964 to 4-15-2020
In Memory of T-BOP 10-12-1949 to 1-19-2024

The War Nickel is a great find but my faves are those '38s. First year finds are fun. "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

And the Jefferson nickel circulation strike 1938 - present remains the only currently circulating US coin series that you can expect to be able to complete from roll finds. I did it three times over. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art |

Are any of your finds (except the warnick) worth more than face value?

Most likely not. The 38 or 39 might be worth a buck or two.
That's probably it.

Thanks everybody! Also, I found this today within the pile of nickels that I was actually taking back to cash in. I don't know how I missed it! 1949 philly! Also, I should oddly note that this is the first ever 1949 philly dated nickel I've ever found. 1949 nickels seem to be VERY sparse in general.   |

Did you search the modern nickels for minor doubled dies? That's a fun way to spend a lazy afternoon.
