Wild Bill Pillar of the Community United States 744 Posts	Posted 01/19/2011 4:29 pm I am starting a project where as I would start keeping track of the rolls of Canadian nickels I go through. As I search between 250 to 400 rolls a week, I'll update this as I go.

snek Valued Member Canada 223 Posts	Posted 01/19/2011 6:32 pm Much smaller sample in southwestern Ontario is as following, I would say I am close to what you get ratio wise. Cannot say I have kept track of my .999 nickels but there are still a bunch out there. 6 boxes of nickels 1940's - 5 1950's - 18 Good luck on the 1964 XWL, always ion the lookout for that one as well. Personally I do it because I enjoy it I doubt I will ever complete the set from roll finds, finds pre 1950 are slim I find. Kevin Report this Post to the Staff
1cent Pillar of the Community Canada 1051 Posts	Posted 01/19/2011 7:40 pm I still haven't found the XWL. When I first started hoarding, I had rolls with as many as 18 nickel coins, but I am afraid those days are gone. 250 rolls a week is a lot of searching! Report this Post to the Staff
bibd Pillar of the Community Canada 838 Posts	Posted 01/19/2011 8:27 pm Good luck, Wild Bill! I did the exact thing you did about 2 years ago (not quite as organized as you, though, and on a smaller scale). I probably searched about 50,000 nickels and pulled nickel at around 16%. But I was (finally) successful in finding an XWL. They're out there! By the way, 0.999 Nickel resumed in 1955, so you may want to modify "1937-1952" to "1937-1954", or keep track of the chrome plated finds separately. They are a real treat to come across. But I never found a tombac, George V, or Buffalo nickel in Canadian rolls. And the '65 large beads is a realy tough variety -- hard to believe they exist after missing on hundreds of 1965s. You could add the 1962 variety to your list also. Again, good luck! Edited by bibd 01/19/2011 8:28 pm Report this Post to the Staff
