Wow, that is a lucky find! I think the average for a Liberty nickel is like one in 1,000 rolls. And you found yours in just 80 rolls.

2 1950 D nickels. Whoa! That is even better and harder to find than the Buff and V nickel you found!
Look at the size of the S on your 1941 S nickels. The large variety is worth a pretty good premium over the small S, and your others are War Nickels that are 35% silver. I would go back to that bank and buy every box and roll they have!

Boy o boy, you sure take nice pictures. I think the 1994 S is a better year for recent proofs and is worth a tad more. Looks like you found it soon enough, doesn't look too badly used at all.

Thanks for all the great feedback guys, and I'm only thirteen so I guess I get a little bet more excited than most adults. and probably part of the reason I take good pictures is because I use my dad's canon rebel slr haha

Are you going to Wachovia branches? Wachovia's boxes in our area have been peppered with Buffalos, Liberties, and Silvers.
