    The Herd Done Got Thinned......

    Benn searching Nickels almost exclusively for the past 3 weeks. In that time I've done 10 boxes, and WOW, only ONE Buffalo Nickel. A pretty well worn 1926-P.
    Never really had a Buffalo skunk streak like this. Anyone else having problems scoring Buffalo Nickels as well?

    I might average about 1 war per box and 1 buffalo every 3 besides the boxes where they do seem to herd up but that is usually non readable date ones.

    I got spoiled by a lot of really good boxes. I'd have to say for awhile I was averaging close to 4-5 Buffalo Nickels and 3-4 War Nickles per box. Too bad it's dried up.

    I don't search nickels that often, but lifetime I have searched ~20 boxes or so and have never pulled a single buffalo from a box.

    I don't know about you but I normally get 2 war 2 buffaloes a box. Mostly the brinks boxes have buffaloes. But when I get a loumis buffalo it almost always has a date.

    871 rolls of nickels done so far this year, 8 war nickels, 7 buffalo and 2 V nickels. Nickels simply dont produce around here. Dimes, I am lucky if I get 1 per 50 rolls. Halves are my producer and right now, they are not producing either.

    Probably someone dumped a collection into Loomis a long time ago, and it got spread around among many boxes.
    1/100 of an American dollar is a cent. It is NOT a penny. The word penny is used by several other countries, such as Great Britain, to denote their smallest denomination. In order to be numismatically correct, you must use the term cent to describe the American coin.
