wonder what the bank paid the person who turned in that roll? dang the bad luck if they only got 50 cents for that five dollar roll.

oh well....their loss is your gain. congrats.

now...any keepers in those dimes?

Funny you should write this, just last week I got three rolls like that. None had the full 50 dimes, each was 40 something, but who's complaining!?

Nice work on the steel!

I have yet to find one of those in the wild.

And the nickel you found is not a war nickel unfortunately.

In 1942, they made normal nickels and then part way through the year switched to the silver composition. So you nabbed one of the non-silver ones.
