$100 box of nickels made my sons day!!

[bthomas71chevy]

Since filling 95% our Kennedy books, my 9 yr old son and I have tried buying a box or two of nickels here and there just to have some fun.

We swang by a bank and bought a box (not to mention the teller said, "Here, I have a couple silver dimes and some wheat pennies too") of nickels to look for some War Time Nickels and he was thrilled to find some "others" too!!! Besides a couple dozen 1930-50's nickels he needed for his book we ended up with...

1988s in GREAT shape
1928 Buffalo
(two) 1929 Buffalo
1935 Buffalo
1936 Buffalo
(two) 1937 Buffalo
1943 P wartime
1945 p wartime

Nothing huge, but a great 2hrs of time spent together !!!

Glad to see someone here is getting his young son interested in the coin collecting hobby.
It's fun and exciting.
My Congrats to you!

Yes, he caught the "coin bug" EARLY!!!

(Of course I keep the fire fueled with picking up a box of something like once a month, swing through the coin shop and let him go through the wheat penny bucket and let him keep the couple bucks in change we get metal detecting)

My reward is to just be with him.

Great hobby for our kids! I am glad he is excited! I got my 5 year old granddaughter started on a Jefferson blue book.

Nice to find that many keepers, too!
