20 bucks in nickels. First buffalo in the wild!! Yea its a noob

[festiva_ford]

Did 20 bucks in clear wraped nickels from my local Chase bank. I thought the clear wraped roll would be all new nicks, boy was I wrong!! I ended up with my first buff in the wild (no date ) and 17 pre 1960's!! Thats more than I got with 50 bucks in individual paper wraped rolls from boxes! It also got me my oldest jefferson nick, a 1941.I'v only looked through about 300 bucks in nicks.That made my day after searching a box of cents with nothing but 2 wheat a 1940s and 1952. Show some respect for a young noob!!

Nickels are fun to search... my best find so far was a '31-S in VF. I've also pulled about 10 buffalo nickels, 15 war nickels, 1 1939-D and 3 1939-S.

Congrats on your first buff nick score. Here's to many, many more... as long as you don't live near me.

I'v got 2 war nicks from a box before. I'm still waiting anxiously for my first 38 or 39 jeff nick, I take it there not that rare to find since the design isn't old. Lol I hope you don't live in the San Francisco area!

Philly. I've got piles of nickels from '38-'60... I pull 'em all. Might toss back the 60's, though, they're getting fairly common.

Tough part is finding key dates... I got crazy lucky on that '31-S, it's the second lowest mintage Buff Nick... that, the 39-D and 2 of the 39-S's came out of the same box where I got 2 rolls of BU nickels dated from '46-'48 and '55-'65. Nothing like stumbling on a dumped collection.

Keep searching... I bet you'll hit one sooner or later... nobody ever looks at their pocket change besides quarters these days.

Well, I'm in the SF bay area.. and well, you're lucky I don't do nickels. Although I thought about them, I would rather do cents than nickels. Halves have pretty much dried up for me. I think cents are better since the copper can be sold on Ebay. You get around 30-50% profit but you have to have a larger quantity. It takes a while to get them sorted by hand. I have about $150 face value worth saved up by hand sorting. I still get coppers but wait till some giant CRH with 5 ryesdales and $100,000 in cash sucks the area dry too.

I only do cents once in a while, but only hoard the wheats. Wheats are pretty dry when I search boxes but I find more in change. I'v also searched about 100$ in costomer half dollar rolls and have yet to find silver. I can't afford boxes cause i'm just a poor student, but maybe i'll get one for Christmas Whats your average for finding silver halfs? btw GO GIANTS! (No offense to the phillies Ltrain) LOL

Phils didn't deserve to win this year... played like shit.

Giants, OTOH, I knew they were gonna win after watching them dismantle the Phils like that... I called them in 6, they took it in 5.

 

[apush]

More will come! Wait till you get your first V-Nickel. You are already hooked, but it gets worse But, at least, I think of it as a slot machine where you don't loose your $$$.

HSH,
