IMG_2255.JPG again, the new smaller box with rolls that lay sideways and wrapped in clear shrink . EVERY ROLL IS UNDER 200 grams with some at 198+/-. 1 roll is short 5 coins. best guess is $4-6 worth of beavers. box is getting returned with no rolls opened. different bank from the first box from he@@.:BangHead::BangHead::BangHead::BangHead: gives a whole new meaning to bank robbery:unhappysmiley::unhappysmiley:

Try halves. That's where the $$ is. If you don't have a big enough bankroll to get half dollar boxes, try CWRs. Or CWRd nickels. I've found just as many war nicks in CWRs as boxes, plus u don't have to worry about solid rolls of '15s.

Couldn't you sell the Canadians as nickel bullion? I thought up until 1981 they were 99% nickel. I know the price has dropped, but is it still worth it?

99.9% are magnetic crap. nickel bullion?? only found 10 old nickels in 2 years. and YES I weigh ALL rolls (2 minutes eliminates need to count), I could open every roll of this box and be stuck with close to 150 Canadians. banks here in NY usually send them where they belong---in the trash--- worthless magnetic garbage!! I would rather dig Zincolns 3 hours a day than find one junk Canadian N, D, or Q. and no I have no desire to visit Canada, NY is enough torture to deal with.
