Hello everyone,
I did 4 boxes of nickels today(CWI rolls) with one box that blew my mind!!! First two boxes were the normal A bunch of pre 1960's and no silver(i actually average about one silver per box). Third box was a dream box for me.

It produced:

5 "V" nickels
13 Buffalo Nickels (All with dates)
5 Silver "WAR" nickels
a bunch of pre 1960's(I was so excited about the V's and Buff's I didn't count the pre 60's)

This must be my christmas present :icon_sunny:

Forth box was also an average box with one silver and a bunch of pre 1960's

Well This is why I love nickels, usually always rewarding with something

Pictures say it all so here it is...

Happy Holidays,
Jason

I find it amazing that V nickels are still out there. Except in a coin store I've never even seen one.

Buffalo's; 1924, 1926D, 1935 (X5), 1935 (D or S ?), 1936 (x4), 1937

Wow I hear it takes 7 boxes of Nickels to score a buffalo. Maybe some dinosaur dumped an old stash at some point.
