Almost gave up on Nickels

[fixxxer9]

Went through two rolls of nickels today and dropped one down the side of my seat in my car. I didn't bother to get it and thought all that I found was a 1955-D. Later in the day I was trying to move the seat back and it wouldn't move. Looked under my chair and there was a water bottle blocking it. Moved it out of the way and found the dropped nickel. It was a 1942-S! First war nickel I have found! I was super excited about it.

Two rolls, but that's besides the point. Still pretty interesting that the war nickel was the one that dropped!

I know. I do most if my hunting in my car and drop coins all the time so I have just started leaving them and then collecting then every few weeks. I just cleaned my car a couple days ago so the floor was clear today (except for the water bottle) so that was the only one down there.

Haha I love it, found my first 43s in my first box last night! That reminds me my cat stole one of my penny rolls and I found it a few weeks later under the couch, it contained a wheat lol not a key date but still cool! Us coin roll hunters are like squirrels, except our nuts are coins, we got coins all over the place!

Lol no kidding. My wife finds coins all over the house and it drives her crazy.

I did some cleaning in my mom's car, and an Irish 5 pence came up that I didn't have before.
