A Dream Bag of Nickels

[waseeker]

Hi Everyone

Got a really nice surprise from a bag of nickels today. Certainly the best bag of nickels I've ever found.

Totals were.

326 buffalos
196 war nickels
17 V nickels
a 1931 Canadian George V Nickel
a very crudely made 1940 (both sides) 2 headed nickel.

as to the buffalo's 121 were identifiable by date and include a 1914. 205 were no date 6 of which were 1913 type 1. Of those there was 1 P; 2 D and 1 S and two were so worn I couldn't determine the mint mark.

for V nickels dates were 1887, 1893, 1897, 1898, 1899, 1902 (2), 1904, 1905, 1906, 1910 (3), 1912 (2) 1912D and one no date (19XX)

Just nominated....amazing. I love V nickels, I have only found one in the wild. Congrats man! Great score, and by my calculations....around 11 OZ of silver.

Best nickel score that I remember seeing. I'm sure you've already thought of this, but you definitely want ALL the bags off that machine. A big collection was obviously dumped and I'd bet my house it wasn't only nickels.

Congratulations! I receive an AU buffalo about 7 year ago from a convenience store and that got me started collecting coins.

Maybe the no date V Nickel is the 1913 V Nickel?

I typically buy everything that comes off the machine except for quarters and small dollars. Hopefully the dime bag will come off the machine next week. I've already sent an SOS to the teller asking him to hold any quarter bags they have. I hope he 1. is working today and 2. that he gets the message before the armored car service picks up the quarters.

$200.00 bag.

Maybe the no date V Nickel is the 1913 V Nickel?

that would be a treat wouldn't it. When I hold it just right under good light I think I'm seeing the last 2 digits as 11, but not sure.
