coin roll hunting - first buffalo nickel

[jailbirdjackson]

Yesterday was my second try at coin roll hunting. My first try was quarters and dimes and I gave up too quick before finding anything interesting. A bunch of time has passed and I decided to try nickels for the buffalo and war nickels. I brought home a box of nickels plus 10 rolls. I searched them yesterday with some help from my wife and I found 1 buffalo nickel with no date, raised ground. I was surprised, having read that buffalo's are found at a frequency of 1 every 7000 nickels. I had only 2400 nickels. I'm looking forward to ordering another box of nickels and filling up my Whitman folders.

Thanks! It is fun. Lotsa finds since I'm just starting to fill up a 1938-1961 Whitman nickel folder.
