Went to four banks on the way home today and asked for customer rolled dimes and nickels.
Ended up buying just over $500 in coin with about 150-200 being nickels. Talked to a couple of the tellers who know me from me coming in so much and one of them mentioned some rolls being so old that he had to reroll them so they didn't fall apart, I told him I would take all the old ones he got in with the hopes of some silver dimes.
Well...
Not a SINGLE silver dime out of the green rolls, an' up until the last like 20 nickel rolls I only had a dozen 1940's/50's nickels in the keeper pile.
But then I must of hit the rolls the teller was talking about because out popped the old stuff.
War nickels rolled out by the dozen as I got rolls that had 5 coins from the 60's and 70's with everthing else being 30's/40's/50's.
Must of been 8-9 rolls like that.
I ended up with 3 buffalo nickels (the first and only buffalo nickels I have found from hand rolls): a 1937, and what looks like a 1934-d but isn't TOTALLY legible and the third was un-readable and NINETY-EIGHT war nickels... yep 98. It was a sweet little war nickel score. I also ended up with multiple rolls of old non-silver nickels and filled a few more spots in my nickel folder (1938-D, 1955, etc.)... not too many more to go now.
All in all it was a very enjoyable haul to look through.
