I wanted to pick up a box each of dimes and nickels, but they didn't have many dimes, so I only got 20 rolls. Most seemed to be from the same dump I've gotten stuck with recently and only produced another Panamanian dime. Ten of the nickel rolls were also CWR, and I thought they were from the same dump because they had the same kind of diamond wrapper, but one gave up a Buffalo. But the rest of the rolls had nothing to get excited about.

10 1950-1959
1947 x 2
1946
1941 x 2
1941D
1940S
1939
1938 (somewhat tougher date)
1930 Buffalo

Also, a Bahamanian nickel.

I guess I'm one nickel closer to my ultra-cheap Buffalo set.

Looking through them I noticed I had sorted a 1938 as a 1958 - the 3 in 38 and 39 looks very much like a 5 at first glance. I went back through my other nickels I've kept from previous boxes, and found a 1938D sorted in with my 1958 nickels. 1938D is a semi-key date and it's in VF condition! Well, not a jackpot, but it cheers me up a bit.
