Searched through a box of dimes and a box of nickels the last couple nights in between other projects, had some decent results.

Box of dimes: 1962 Canadian (new for me)
Box of nickels: first roll had a 1939S (7th or 8th 39S I have found over the years...but not a single 39D yet :'()). Also that box had two war nickels, 45P and 45S, a 1988S proof (new for me), a 1919 Buffalo, and about 30 other pre-60 nickels, including a couple other S mint coins.

Pretty good box of nickels.

Not bad. I'm guessing that 39S was a killer. :(

Haha...yeah. I saw the reverse first, w/ the S mint mark and flipped it over. It's actually one of the most naturally worn out Jefferson nickels I've ever seen. When I say 'naturally' I mean it's just plain worn from circulation, not from being run through casino slots for a decade. I already have found a 1919 as well but it was cool to add the 88S nickel and the 62 Can dime to my list of circulation finds.
