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. My goal is to keep myself focused enough to find my own 1964 XWL .

All I'm keeping track of is:
Number of rolls.................... 250 or $500
# of .999 nickel dates 1922-81........ 1082
% of .999 nickel......................... 10.82%
1922-36 dates(George V")................... 0
1944-45 dates ................................... 0
1937-52 dates(George VI").................. 5
1951-54............................................. 1

List of variety/errors:
1-1946 "Arrow Head".............. 1 coin searched
0-1962 "Double Date"............. 4 coins searched
0-1964 "Extra Water Line"..... 36 coins searched
0-1965 "Large Bead"............. 21 coins searched



Full bags of .999 nickel:
Number of rolls.......................... 300 or $600
# of .999 nickel dates 1922-1981........... 12000
1922-1936 dates(George V")................. 4
1937-1952 dates(George VI")................ 110

List of variety/errors:
0-1946 "Arrow Head"................ 7 coin searched
0-1947 "Dot"............................ 24 coin searched
0-1957 "Bug Tail"..................... 9 coin searched
0-1962 "Double Date"............. 98 coins searched
0-1964 "Extra Water Line"..... 481 coins searched
0-1965 "Large Bead"............. 422 coins searched

Wild Bill, I am following your data with interest as I'll be starting a nickel collection very soon. I've actually just bought a box and I'll post any rare 5 cents I find for your data.

Thanks for sharing!
