After my luck with the wheaties the other day, I decided to see if there were any other bags available off the coin machine from the same bank since Wednesday. Turns out all that had dropped was a $200 bag of nickels, so I got it.

Well, the nickels didn't have the same quantity as the wheaties, but they didn't disappoint either.

1 - 1918 Buffalo Nickel (some had done the nic-a-date for me)
2 - 1936 Buffalo nickels
3 - Buffalo nickels with unknown dates (at least one with a mintmark)

1 - 1943-P War Nickel
1 - 1943-S War Nickel
53 other pre-1960 Jefferson (1939(2), 1940(5), 1941(6), 1946(5), 1946-S, 1947(2), 1947-D, 1948, 1948-D, 1949, 1949-D, 1951, 1952(4), 1953-D(3), 1953-S, 1954-D, 1954-S, 1956, 1957-D(3), 1958-D(4), 1959-D(8))

12 Canadian (1957, 1964, 1968, 1971, 1975(2), 1979, 1984, 1989, 1993, 1999, 2006-P)

1 Quarter

3 Pennies (one was a 1960-D penny that appears to be struck on the wrong planchet, but I can't figure out what. The coin is smaller than a nickel and bigger than a penny) I'll try to get a picture later.

1 Bus Token

The 1957 Canadian is my first Canadian nickel from the 1950's found while CRHing.

Now I can only wait for the other denom's to drop again to see if there are other goodies. ;D (dimes, quarters, halves).

Being that I picked up a bag of dimes last week that may be the one, or it may be the next bag. The last one was my best ever bag of dimes, so I am hoping that the next one will be too.

Quarters, now I question passing on the bag that was available wednesday...oh well water under the bridge. Crossing my fingers that the collection came in after the quarter bag had been filled.

A couple of pictures of the odd sized penny.

In the second picture, the coins are penny, odd penny, nickel.

Gotta make you wonder that a whole collection didn't get dumped there. I would take my extra halves in there and fill it til the bag was full, then buy that bag!! Seriously. I would. Strange looks and all LOL
congrats on the buffalos too!

I buy bags from this particular branch every week, and I know the half dollar bag has <$100 in it (fills at $1000)...I'll wait a while.
