My bank has informed me that they will no longer order boxes of coin for me, citing the "huge expense". I had, over a couple of months, ordered nine boxes of nickels and two boxes of halves. I have not really challenged them on this, because I may be changing jobs shortly, and might not have occasion to frequent that branch for my normal banking business, as I do now. They did agree to let me buy bags from the coin counter, although they told me not to bother with halves, as there was a "silver coin hunter" as they put it, who dumps his coin there. I did acquire five $100 nickel boxes from my bank as a "last hurrah", I will post those results later.
At a local Wal-Mart, I was able to buy $42 dollars in rolled nickels from a bank branch inside the store.
I found:
1941-S, 1947-S, 1951-D, 1954-D (2), 1956-D, 1958-D.
The 1947-S was surprisingly nice.
Based on prior statistics, I expect to find one pre-1960 coin per one-hundred coins searched. This batch produced seven, so that is close to expectations. The 1941-S and 1956-D fill holes in the 1938-1961 album, and the 1947-S is a condition upgrade, so not bad, all in all.
Thanks to all for the great posts.
