Last week I purchased two boxes and about 35 rolls of nickels. Its taken me this long to get going due to work hours, but I had to stop and post. I tried taking a pic with my cheapy digital camera, but I cannot obtain a close up shot--just too darn fuzzy.
As I was 2/3rd's the way thru my second box, I open the next clear-sealed roll. I spread the coins out and a 1908 Liberty Head V Nickel pops up. I was so suprised I ran down the hall yelling to my husband. Well, at best its worth a whopping $2.00 (G-4, my guess), but you would have thought I had won the lottery.
From my two boxes & rolls thus far:
1939 (2); 1940 (2); 1941 (3); 1942-D (1); 1943-P (2); 1946 (5); 1946-S (1); 1947 (1); 1947-D (1); 1948 (2); 1952 (2); 1952-S (1); 1953 (2); 1953-D (1); 1953-S (1); 1954-S (3); 1954-D (5); 1955-D (3); 1956 (1); 1956-D (1); 1957 (1); 1957-D (7); 1958-D (9).
Should I really be investing in nickels? Seems I did okay on the nickels, but it also seems a two-sided coin; that is, if I am getting this many, so is everyone else. And thanks to those last week who "straightened me out" on the war nickel v. the V nickel.
Thanks for any advice
