Today I had a sweet score! Opened up 10 CWR, and found that no coins were younger than 20 years. So out of 10 rolls i was able to recover 174 bullion nickels which is (43,5%) , also 24 ms-au nickels from 80s (those are Cu-Ni composition, picture below) + 8 BU .999 nickel nickel (see picture below). I am pretty sure, this was not a collection dumped, althought I hoped for that
. This was definitely someone's hoard. Rolls contained only pre 1992 nickels, but no coin was earlier than 1963 => no 12-siders, kings, war nickels or buffalo nickels. However i managed to get 5 1991 nickels (semi-key date).
What surprises me is that from other 15 rolls I got only 41 pure nickel coins. Highlights: 1954D US nickel, 1960(2), 1961, 1962, 1970 , 1991, 2000P(2).
One thing is for sure... tomorrow I going back and buying as many CWR, available there, as possible. I think this is an obvious sign of someone's dumped hoard!
OK enough writing, the pictures are worth more than thousands of words
Enjoy!

Picture 2: Bullion found in first 15 rolls (average rate)
Picture 3: AU/BU nickel nickels found in 20 year old rolls
Picture 4: Same for CU-NI 80s nickels
Picture 5: Bullion for 10 old rolls
Total (25 rolls = 15 + 10 dream)
