A (V)ery nice box of nickels today

[mountainman 2]

Afternoon everyone. Just finished up an exciting box of nickels. Obviously part of a collection dump from the age and condition of some of the coins. First keeper was a nice war nickel. Then i saw something that i haven't seen in a year, a V nickel dated 1900. Either that roll or one of the next i pulled 2 V nickels and a war nickel out of the same roll! Then a little while later i turn one roll over and there's a V reverse ender. Exciting box for sure!
Totals for the box were 10-V nickels,3 war nickels and a half dozen very nice 1938-1940 Jeffersons. I'm going to re-search the ones i already went through to see if i missed anything.
From left to right top.( 38,38,39,38,40,40)
From left to right center(1905,1900,1904,1908,1907)
Next Row (1911,1911,1902,1908,18??)
Bottom row (43-P,44-P,43-S)

None of the V nickels grade better then good. I don't think i've ever found more then 2 V nickels in a box and i've searched many 100s of boxes. Thanks for reading, good luck in your searches. MM2

Nice! I had a few back to back boxes with 7 or so total in them. Probably from the same collection dump... made for a fun week!

Just wanted to add to this. I was going through the same batch again in case i missed anything. In my excitement of searching that box the 1st time, i dropped another v nickel into the dump pile, a 1910!

I agree, i thought a buffalo or two might surface especially with the nice condition 38,39, and 40 nickels in there but i'm definitely not complaining.

Go back to that bank and see if they could spare another box or two. Again, fantastic find...
