Did my usual bank hopping today. Skunked on halves. Not much to show for pennies. But at my last bank, I noticed 4 very old looking rolls of nickels just sitting there by the teller's tray, so I asked to buy them of course, and lo and behold, I got 17 war nickels! The oldest coin was a 1939 Jeffie and the youngest was a 1959. Nothing but pre-1960 nickels. Finding those war nickels really made up for the dismal halves and pennies. :) Thanks for reading, and happy hunting, all.

17 war nickels?

Nice haul!!!
 

I'm still smiling. ;D
Gave me enough to finish up the roll I'd been working on.
 

I was hoping to finish a roll this year but it doesn't look like that is going to happen. I have about 15 so far. I've not been hitting the nickles very hard because the bank I get halves was bought out and will be closing next week. I picked up my last box of halves on monday and there were 33 40% and one 64.
