Nickels and Dimes to save a hoser king

[Dok Holliday]

$1000 in Dimes (4 boxes)
Box1: 1959D
Box2: 1964D
Box3: All Clad
Box4: One new hoser dime, and a 1951 King George VI dime. I'm counting this as a silver dime, unlike those 1968 50% Hosers.

Brings my dime averages down to 70 silvers from 47.4452 boxes. 1.47/box!


$200 in Nickels (2 boxes)
Box1: 1938 upgrade, a 1952S hole filler, 30x Pre '62 Nickels, and 2 hoser nickels
Box2: This box was a different stamped number than the first one, and loaded with old stuff. It wasn't an old box, as it still had a bunch of 2011s, so it must have just contained a small vein from somewhere. A pair of 1939s, a 45D War and 43S War, 1 hoser nickel, a 1952D Upgrade in AU condition (5 steps!), and 64x Pre '62 nickels.

Running average is 9 War nickels out of 11 boxes. 0.82/box!

Nice score!!! earlier today I opened a nickel roll and it contained a ND buffalo nickel and a 1943p war, nickels are unpredictable!

Yes, they take a long time compared to edge checking dimes, but they are enjoyable.

hoser?

hoser?

"Hoser is both a slang term and a stereotype, originating from and used primarily in Canada. [1] It is not often used by Canadians, but it is sometimes used as "typical" Canadian slang by those imitating Canadians, similar to the expression "eh?" The term "hoser" gained popularity from the comedic skits by Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas (also known as Bob and Doug McKenzie) in SCTV's "The Great White North" segments."
