I bought three rolls of nickels. Half-way through the third roll I found a 1945 P war nickel. It's my first and I'm thrilled. 1945 P War Nickel.jpg

You lucky dog. I found a 43P myself and had a very neat feather oxidation to it. Whiel melt on these is fairly low I find them very cool being they were made for such a short time.

Its always a thrill to find keepers. I've only been searching nickels since Nov. 2011. To date I found 4 Liberty Head, 80 Buffalos, 133 War, several hundred pre-1960 & 100s of foreign coins. Welcome to the highly addictive madness world of CRH.
