I may have left some of the herd at the bank with pics

I was working in Bexley Ohio today. On the way back north on I-75 I stopped at the Bowling Green exit for a bite to eat. I saw a Huntington bank next to McDonald's, I went in to deposit a check and asked for Halves. None of the three tellers had any. I have been slowly getting back into nickles so I bought $50 worth, half a box. As I was driving home (yes I search while driving) the first roll had a war nickle and a good number of pre 1960's. When I had finished the half box of nickles I ended up with 10 war nickles and 3 buffalo's 1935, 1935 and no date and 38 pre 1960's various dates. I would have to say this is my best batch of nickles although about 2 years ago I scored two solid rolls of pre 1960 with about 8 wars nickles (also from Ohio).

As I will not be back in Ohio soon anyone is welcome to try there luck, I may have left some of the herd with the other half of the box. My teller was in her mid 50's and on the right side of the teller stand. I would not drive to far to try and round up any stragglers but if you live near by good luck.

Keep on searching

Haha....guilty, halves are so easy on the road, especially on the eyes.

Any pics of the obverse on the partial date one? 1920, 1921 and 1924 have distinctive features.
