ratman4762 Pillar of the Community United States 2520 Posts	Posted 12/05/2009 9:34 pm Jprine, what part of the country are you in? I'm in western NC and the Brinks plastic wrapped rolls have been really good here lately. I try to get boxes but I'll take what I can get. This past week alone I've probably found 15 War Nickels (6 yesterday out of 200 rolls), 8 Buffalo (3 yesterday including a vg 1913 type2) and a 1911 Liberty. I've only found 1 Buffalo in customer wrapped rolls and none in String rolls. I've been searching Brinks heavily while the gettings are good! Report this Post to the Staff
oober Valued Member United States 467 Posts	Posted 12/06/2009 8:44 pm I find a ton more Buffs then Mercs, if you call about .4 Buffs per box a ton. Mercs usually about 1 merc per 15 silver dimes in the midwest, and about 1 silver dime per $250.00 Report this Post to the Staff
AGCoinHunter Pillar of the Community United States 625 Posts	Posted 12/07/2009 2:47 pm Usually find a buffalo in every 2 boxes I do. War Nickels usually are 1 per box, been slow on those lately. I dont do dimes much, too small to look at dates. Hate rim searching because I know I miss a lot. I have found 2 rosies in 1 box ($250) and 1 bag (1k) since I started. Really glad my father gave me his dime collection, I dont have to find too many mercs to complete it... Report this Post to the Staff

Over the previous 18 months I have searched 130,000 circulated nickels from rolls (that's 3250 rolls so far) and have kept detailed records of my finds ....... I have found two (2) Liberty V ..... so on average I find 1 every 1625 rolls. I have found eighteen (18) Buffalo .... so on average I find 1 every 180.6 rolls. I have found thirty nine (39) War Silver ..... so on average I find one every 83.3 rolls. David Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff
