Pretty good week

Hi all, merc here. Haven't checked in for a while but my hunting has been going great. This week I got my best war nickel box ever, with 15 P mint nicks. My take for the week came to 37 silver coins. Wish I could do that every week.

Wow, that was a nice nickel box. Sounds like you got part of a collection dump.

Awesome nickel box! It's always fun to have a score like that.

Hey Merc, super box of nicks there! Sometimes I want to do a box of nicks again ( i did for a bit), but then I remember what they were like to search and shy away lol, I gotta hand it to you guys that search them though :notworthy:

, it was a tough search for me :tongue3:

The nice thing about nickels is that there is no fast way to do them--makes you take a little time and relax... 8-)

It is fun when you get a nice box. Wish they were more common.

Maverick, badwolf , I search nickels faster than anything. I just spread a roll out on newspaper and the war nicks and buffs and stuff really stand out. Then dump in my coffee can and bust open the next one. I wouldn't like them so much though if I didn't have a coin machine to dump the rejects in.
