I just got through one of my better boxes of nickels. I found the ever elusive 1938S. I noticed several other posts where CRH"ers have mentioned this is a very hard find for them. Not sure, but I think this might be my first or second. The 3 others found in the same box were 1897 V nickel, 1936 Buffalo, and 1943P silver war nickel. I was due. I'd been through several recent skunk boxes. Arizona is a dry land. As always, HH everyone!

I'm jealous - the '38S is the only one I need to complete my set. Nice box!

Very very nice box!!! I found my CRH 38-S and 39-D in the same box a little less than a month ago. Indeed the 38-S is a very elusive coin. In all of my years of collecting, I have found two total.
