How many nickel boxes does it take to get to 100 Buffs... 100 Wars...

[xnytxowlx]

Well, it took me exactly 114 boxes to get to 100 Buffs

Took me 122 boxes to get to 100 Wars.

Through those 122 boxes, I also found 4 Vs (12, 07, 01, 93)

I gave up on halves a few months ago. Focusing on nickels and cents at this point. Pulled 57 wheats out of 2 boxes this weekend. about 24% copper.

I need to sign up for a few more bank accounts at different banks and see if I can get anyone to order me halves. Hopefully they come from a different supplier when I end up getting more halves.

it would take me about 85 nickel boxes to get 100 war nickels and 125 nickel boxes to get 100 buffs and probably 100 nickel boxes to get me 1-2 V nickels.
Good luck trying to find a new source for your halves, in my opinion, it doesn't matter where the halves come from, they are all pretty bad, lol.

Congrats on the nickel results. And 57 wheats from just two boxes and 24% copper is really good. Good luck with your halves. Its kinda interesting u and StevePa have such different results from half boxes. Just never know with this hobby.

HH!

Wow, it has taken me over a hundred boxes and I only have a handful of buffs and less than 80 war nicks...

I quit after about 25 boxes of nickels. At my find rate it would have taken me 316 boxes to find 100 wars and 1265 to find 100 buffs.

At the rate I'm going 1-2 million. I haven't found a buff yet out of about 20 boxes.

Nickels and cents are good here, but dimes and halves are 95% skunk boxes. I went over 100 skunks in a row with halves this year.
