Nickel box completed and...

[pepperpump]

I found a total of 16 pre-1960 nickels and 2 foreign coins. Here is the break-down.

2 1939 nickels
7 1950's nickels
7 1940's nickels
2 of the 40's nickels are war-time, a 44 and 43 nickel
2 foreign as well

Not bad I think. I'm starting to really like my turnouts with nickels. Happy CRH everyone!

Nickels are most interesting to search after halves. You never know what you might find.

You did much better than I did silver wise. I purchased two boxes a couple of days ago and got about 20 or so pre-1956, no silver, 1 proof (2004S) and 1 82 Canadian. My last 6 boxes have not produced even one war nick.

Nice haul. I still can't figure out why I'm saving my pre-1960 nickels, but if nothing else, I'll someday have a bunch of old nickels lying around. haha. I love those war Jeffies---it's always nice finding silver while searching nickels.
