new & average for nickles

[jay741jay]

hi all im new to the forum but not to crh.ive looking around for a while decided to join. i have a couple of questions 1. do you guys have an average for nickle boxes? i used to crh for a while back then stopped for a while and started back up 5 or so months ago.

since then ive done 3 boxes of nickles (i usually just do halfs) one had one war and buff and the second had one buff and the third had 2 buff. All the buffs were pretty worn. i dont think its worth me doing it since im not getting many war nickles and it takes a while to look through them. Second question is has any had there boxes change from the wh string ones to loomis ones. the wh string ones were delivered by loomis but recently no more of them and all i get know are loomis wrapped ones. also does any one pick up and dump with the same supplier different banks but with same supplier and do you still find stuff? thanks

I am not that experienced, but so far I am finding at least 2-4 war nickels and 1 buffalo here and there in a nickel box. It could change day by day and a CRH dump could also be in a box (hope not)! Since there are many factors, there is no real way of having an average of keepers inside a box. Maybe someone out there that looks through a lot, they might have an average, but it is going to be a big volume. That is so far my opinion. On your second question, I am also a newbie so I don't know much about that.

I've done 8 boxes of nickels and I average about 1 war nickel per box. Sadly, I haven't found a single buffalo yet.

So far, my average has been 2 war nickels every 3 boxes, and one Buffalo about every 5 boxes.

I've done only 5 boxes so take this for what it's worth.

I get boxes from BoA.

4 war nickels and 1 buffalo.

So my average is .8 war nickels per box and .2 buffs per box. In my opinion, not too good in terms of finding silver but it scratches the itch when I can't get fresh boxes of dimes or halves. With nickel's prep yourself for some black hands or get some gloves that still allow you to manipulate the coins.
