Here are some photographs of what I found during a search of hand rolls of $40 in nickels in October, and then again in November of 2010. They came from a small, local bank that almost never has machine wrapped rolls. The bank still has some rather quaint rules like requiring coin depositors to mark the rolls with their account numbers. When I buy the rolls, the account numbers must first be struck out with a black marker. Many of the depositors also put their names and addresses on the rolls, too.
Coins in photographs are arranged in chronological order from left to right, and by mint from top (Philadelphia) to bottom (San Francisco). As a reference, the tallest stack toward the middle of each photograph is 1946 Philadelphia.
There were no war nickels, but each time I found three solid rolls of 1940s vintage nickels.
