When I roll hunt nickels, I keep anything 1959 and earlier.

My previous record was 72 keeps in a box of nickels...
This box had over 130

Here are some of the nicer ones that made it into the album (some newer than 1959 though, but beautiful circulated coins)

That's incredible. My boxes have all been average ranging from like 16 keepers to about 35. Never anything that high.

no mint sets were issued in 1982 and 1983, so higher grade coins are more difficult to find.
