Picked up a few bags from a branch I don't frequent as I found out their ship out schdule finally. (kept missing and stopping by right after they had shipped).

Well picked up
1 - $500 bag of dimes
2 - $100 bags of nickels

The dimes were practically a skunk...
1 Canadian (1974)
1 Foreign (Peru, 1 Centimo (2007))
2 buttons

Nickel bag #1 was decent
1 - 1944-P War Nickel
1 - 1950 <-- needed to complete my roll of this variety.

GMan,

How are your nickel rolls going? I presume that at this point you are very close to just looking for keys to complete your rolls?

Pretty much, keys and war nickels (at least from the Jefferson series).

From memory here the ones I don't have a complete roll of yet (I'll update it later if I made a mistake).

1938-D, 1938-S, 1939-D, 1939-S, 1941-S Large S, 1942-D, 1942-P, 1942-S, 1943-D, 1944-P, 1944-D, 1944-S, 1945-P, 1945-D, 1945-S, 1948-S, 1949-S, 1950, 1950-D, 1951-S, 1955

The 1948-S is either either 1 short or complete.

I also have completed books from 1938 on. One for me and one for my son (my son's book is missing 2: 1938-S and 1950-D). The completed books do not count toward my rolls.

I typically find between 1 and 4 nickels per $200 bag that fall into the above list. Unfortunately as the rolls are filled, the find rate for ones still needed drops. I think I need around 600 nickels total from the above list to complete a roll set.
