Epic Nickel Find (lots of pics)
Went to a bank I haven't picked up from in about too months and I got $60 dollars in CWR of Nickels. By far my best nickel score yet.
141 pre 60 nickels
5 war nickels (not counted in the number above)
1 buff nick (36 no mint)
and now for the really good stuff
4 V nicks from the 1800's
13 V nicks from the 1900's
5 V nicks that are way to dirty/worn to tell the date.
and the even better stuff (not included in the numbers above)
1888 v nickel (really damaged and worn)
1912 (s or d hard to tell) mint V nickel *I know I listed this as a 12 S originally, but I am not sure now, gonna have it checked out
189-? clipped planchet
1883 no cents V nickel (I know the 83 with cents is more, but this is my new oldest coin, I forgot to add this picture in the photo with the rest of the coins)
I searched these in my car, when I saw how good the batch was I took the 4ish dollar hit from coinstar and cashed in the newer nickels for cash and went back a second time to see if I could nab some more. Second batch of $40ish dollars was uneventful but I don't even care. 26 v nickels total, 1 buff, 5 war nickels (one isn't included in the picture because I had already put it in my book), and 141 other pre 60 nickels....hell of a 60 bucks if you ask me.
This got me to 13oz of silver for 2012 so far. The finds had 2 coins I needed for my book (1950 no mind, 1942p), and 4 coins for my uncles book (42 no mint, 49, 51, and 51d).
