4/Friday the 13th/07 unlucky casino nickels

[Immy]

Friday the 13th has always been more lucky than unlucky for me so I had high hopes for my $40 today. And not even one keeper, drat!

Enough of this! I'm getting a nickel box tomorrow at Wells Fargo for more serious hunting.

Oh, oh...watch out!!! Immy is rolling his sleeves up....getting serious....ha!

Get em Dave and good luck. Let us know how that box turns out.

BTW - Did you say in an earlier post that you have 3 of the Jefferson nickel collection books filled?

I have four blue Whitman nickel folders. Two are complete, #3 needs three more and #4 needs five more. That's why I'm curious how long you take to fill yours.

Right now my box o' nickels is in my car while I sit at work. Argh, the anticipation...

Nice job of the fours books Dave. Once a book is filled what is the value of one today? Like the halves, these books will go to my grandchildren.

It may take a while for me though. I haven't done much searching of nickels. Of the boxes & that one casino trip I had accmulated three rolls of the pre 60's.....I took those rolls and started filling slots and bought a box last week. Went through about half of that box so far.

I have 57 holes left to fill for both books. I did find two war nickels a while back & put them in the holders so I will not use those....have to find them in my searching.....ouch. I will probably search nickels between half hunting.

Sounds like a good plan, LJ.

I've seen completed books (Volume 1 only) in average circulated condition selling for $40-$45 in dealer ads. The nickel design changes created new interest in the series and made whole sets a sellable item. The rising price of silver can only enhance their appeal. Your grandkids will benefit.

Sorry to hear the $40 in nickels wasn't as good as you would have liked. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the box produces a lot of goodies for you. Good luck
