Yesterday was my second try at coin roll hunting. My first try was quarters and dimes and I gave up too quick before finding anything interesting. A bunch of time has passed and I decided to try nickels for the buffalo and war nickels. I brought home a box of nickels plus 10 rolls. I searched them yesterday with some help from my wife and I found 1 buffalo nickel with no date, raised ground. I was surprised, having read that buffalo's are found at a frequency of 1 every 7000 nickels. I had only 2400 nickels. I'm looking forward to ordering another box of nickels and filling up my Whitman folders.

Good job. That sounds like a lot of fun I see lots of people making good finds doing that. Good luck
