Yesterday was Valentine's Day, and I decided to see if I could coax Cupid into giving me a treat, so I bought one box of nickels and one box of pennies.
Love certainly was in the air when I opened the box of nickels, as I saw a nice Buffalo ender right off the bat! Starting with that ender roll, I began my search. I noticed that there were a lot of 1940's and 1950's examples in there, many in virtually uncirculated condition. Here and there, a Buffalo appeared. Then came a War Nickel! Back and forth, the finds came...Buffalos and War Nickels. Just for something different, I suppose, a 2002 British 20 pence coin popped out. Odd shape, odd find.
Toward the end, the Buffalos and War Nickels ran dry, but again I was in a sea of rather nice 1950's examples, when what do I spy? A 1950! Not a "D" mint, but still a nice find!
Aside from my folder upgrades, here's the tally of what I found:
Jefferson — 1944-P, 1944-D, 1945-P, 1950
Buffalo — 1920, 1925-S, 1927, 1928-D, 1936-D (x2), 1937
That was the end of the nickels. What an epic box for me, certainly in my top three! I managed to upgrade a lot of the slots in my nickel folder, so that was a win.
As for my pennies? I got five Wheaties out of the box.
Thanks, Cupid! Come back anytime.
