My first box ever found a V nick. Then it took like 5-6 boxes and a few bags to get a war nick and a buffalo, must have been close to $1000 in nicks before I found my first war or buff.

Then I found plenty of those.

Then a few weeks ago found my second V nick after must be close to 5-6k in nickels.

Who knows, it's certainly mysterious.

I did find one in the last few weeks though, if that answers the question!

I've dug a few this year, but never found one CRH.

This is weird, I just found 2 V nickels (1884, 1906) in the same box today.

Never found one but ive bought over 50

Someone most likely DUMPED deceased grandfathers collection, and needed the cash fast. None the less a good find, to be put in your own collection.

I'm in PA and got this 1893 V nickel.

I found Indian Head cents in my first week of cent hunting, a Barber dime in my first month of dime hunting, and a Walking Liberty half in my first month of hunting halves. Still haven't seen a V nickel though, after searching roughly $2500-3000 worth.

I found a 1911 V nick in my till at work 2 days ago. This is the 2nd V nick I have found in the past couple of months. Wish it had been a buff or war nick but I'll take anything right now.

Sincerely, GarouLady

Not here they aren't. I just got done with 2 $100 boxes and didn't even find a war nickel

I've never found one. Will head out today and see if mine's waiting.

I'm not dead yet... I dump TONS of that stuff because they really don't interest me. Especially if I buy a small collection now and then with a lot of "fluff", dated/dateless buffalos, worn v-nicks, clad proof Kennedys, worn/common IH's, all in the hopes to spur a new collector. The only stuff I do keep are all the old coins that I dig, LC's, IH's, shield nicks, old foreigns, silver, etc, that go into a catalog to show that there are a lot of oldies left in the ground.
