Had time for 1 stop on Saturday at a smallish town bank.
They had two bags available
1 - $200 bag of nickels
1 - $50 bag of pennies
I bought both.
The nickels were looking pretty average through 80% of the bag... and then the last dozen handfuls or so produced 4 V-Nickels and 4 Buffalos
For the total nickel bag:
4 V-Nickels (1898, 1905, 1911, 1912-D)
4 Buffalo (1925, 1926, 1929-S(2))
49 pre-1960 Jefferson (1939, 1940(2), 1940-S, 1941-D, 1941-S Small S(3), 1946(4), 1946-S, 1948-D, 1949, 1951-D, 1952, 1952-S, 1953-D(2), 1954(2), 1954-D(2), 1955-D(2), 1956(2), 1956-D(2), 1957, 1957-D(5), 1958-D(2), 1959, 1959-D(10))
9 Canadian (1969, 1978, 1982, 1984(2), 1986, 1994, 1999, 2001-P)
3 Foreign (Greece, 1 Drachma (1962), Mexico, 20 Centavos (1979), Phillipines, 25 Sentimos (1985))
1 Dime
The $50 in pennies was also quite good:
1 Indian Head (1907)
27 wheat pennies (1916, 1930-D, 1937, 1940, 1941-S Small S, 1944-D, 1945, 1945-D(2), 1946-D(2), 1946-S, 1947-D, 1948, 1948-S, 1949-D, 1950, 1951-S, 1952-D, 1953-D, 1953-S, 1955-D, 1956-D(2), 1957-D, 1958-D(2))
21 Canadian (1963, 1964, 1968, 1973(3), 1979, 1980, 1981, 1983(2), 1984, 1985, 1986(2), 1994, 1995, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2001)
1 Foreign (Norway, 5 Ore (1973))
I know there had to have been a few other good bags that cycled through as all the good nickels were at the bottom of the bag and since nickels fill more slowly than everything but halves and dollars (and sometimes dimes) I am sure the IHC I found was from a completely separate person.
Either way sets my record for most V-Nickels at one time...(was hoping for a shield nickel too, but alas none were found)
