Got 3 bags of Nickels, and they did NOT disappoint. In addition to a '45P, 3 '51S, and 2 '46S, I was fortunate enough to pull:

Great haul! On the buffs I can make out all but the 2nd one - 1927, 19??, 1924, 1928, 1917 (I think?).

Yeah, I just figured 2 ND, as I couldn't really make out those other two either. Kinda thought -9 on your 1917
 

Nice rosco. I like that Spanish coin. Very neat
 

Good finds keep em coming I'm going to do some halves this weekend. Good luck

So am I lol Do you ever do quarters and have you found any of the west point ones just curious... Tommy
 

When did the US Gov't last make Buffalo Nickles? We just found one by chance too. It is just in worse shape than those above, and I cannot tell how dates are on them at all??
 

Thanks for sharing these nice photos.

I occasionally dabble in quarters, but haven't found any W's. I've hardly pulled any 2019's for that matter, have both Lowell but only one American war memorial and only one of the San Antonio Missions. I only get bags, so I'd have to find them after they were spent basically. Have managed to pull a decent # of silvers, so I'm not complaining.

I started with quarters just three weeks ago but I've found 5 Ws in just 4 boxes + 20 rolls. They may not have been distributed evenly by state. On the other hand, the only silver quarter I've found recently was in a coinstar (free for account holders) reject tray when I dumped 2 skunk boxes of halves.

The only coinstar by me I can hope for coins has been closed for repairs for like a month...
