Any box with a buffalo or a war nickel is a successful box in my book. Keep us up to date on how your nickel folder is coming along. I shocked myself a few months ago when I pulled a 1950-D and a 1950 out of the same box. My folder is completely full except for some of the war nickels, 1939-D and the 1938 dates. The Jefferson nickel series is awesome for a coin roll hunter.

Nice variety. I found a gold plated '66 Kennedy before. Probably won't find another one of those!

Just keep plugging away on those nickels. I think I'm down to about eight empty holes in my folder--just missing all the 1938's. the 1939-D, and the lower mintage war nickels. It's all about the volume, so it's only a matter of time until you fill the rest of those holes. I found the 1950-D and 1950 a few months ago and was completely elated. Even the rarest key dates are out there circulating.

Half box 3 skunked

Nickel box 3 1944 P, 1945 D

Did you toss back a 1950 nickel? Those are rare (especially the 1950-D).

 

[silvercounselor]

Yeah I tossed the 1950 back. I only keep the war nickels and coins prior to Jefferson. I've gotten bunches of pre1960s

Are the pre1960s really worth saving? I mean is their a market for them? If so I would strictly keep them to resell them because I have gotten so many

Hey SilverCounselor, I actually toss back 99% of all the pre 60's myself. They are a dime a dozen. However there are a few you should always keep, they do have a numismatic value and there is a market for them. The 1950 is the hardest year to find for Jefferson nickels... low mintage, especially for the 1950 D. I haven't looked at the 2015 red book yet, but a 1950 is good to AU condition could fetch about $10 or more... not bad for a nickel.

A war nickel is only worth $.95 right now... so I would say that 1950 is really worth saving.

I also keep an eye out for varieties like the 49, 54, and 55 mint mark errors. I also keep all the 38, and 39 Jefferson's.

If you don't already have one, you're best bet is to get a red book and check out to see what Jefferson's are low mintage and worth keeping. HH!

Here's an old post on the 1950 D from BuffaloBoy and I posted my 1950 D on it too. It is really hard to find!

Nickel Box 4: 1926 Buffalo, 1943 P, 1944 D, 1944 D and 1945 P

That's the best nickel box I've ever seen anyone get. Nice.

Box Halves 5: 1964 D

Box Nickels 5: 1944 P & 1945 P

I just need a 1966 and I have a full set of silver JFKs from circulation (excluding 1970)

Nickel Box 6: skunked

I work for a school and today was canceled due to weather so I decided to go get another box of nickels. While I was there I took a peak at her coin drawer and saw she had about 3 or 4 silver quarters!!! I didn't ask for them because I know the other teller that works collects as well. All the tellers save their silver for him so I didnt want to step on toes and ruin the relationship there. I think next week I will take them some pizza for lunch to better my relationships. I did talk with the teller and she said that she will look into ordering me Eisenhowers! I will find out next week if they do which will be amazing.

Wow, I didn't know it was possible to order Eisenhowers. I'll be interested to see what happens with that. Keep us posted.
