Boxes #8 and #9 from this rainy Monday

Box #8 produced (1) nickel war and my first Buffalo (no date) as well as pre-1960's added to my "stash". A good majority of this box, maybe 85%, contained new and uncirculated rolls of 2014 nickels. So I was amazed to find the war and buffalo.

Total found today was a total of (3) nickel war

Great job with the finds. It looks like hard work, but it's paying off.

I have to ask, why do you call them "nickels war" instead of "war nickels"? Just curious.

It looks like you found some nice condition 1939 Jeffersons. Were any of them mintmarked "D" or "S"?
Do you ever have trouble returning the sorted coins back to where you got them, or to any other place you might try to take them for exchange?
