Some fun nickel hunting and a first (Pics)

Went around on my route today looking for halves but could only come up with $20 worth of CWR skunks aside from some uncirc. NIFC halves to fill spots in my album. Ended up picking up this cool box of nickels at my last bank (which has produced the last 3 times i've been there). They let me keep the box! so cool lol. I'm gonna use it to keep my rolls of pre 1950 nickels organized in my safe much better than just loose. Also scored my first buffalo nickel out of circulation. It looks like a dug coin but isn't pourous at all which leads me to believe it is tarnish of some sort.

Yeah, I've never got a nic box from a bank like that either. You just never know what you might find in this hobby.

Usually the tellers have those plastic trays they keep rolls of coins in, i thought this was pretty cool.

One bank i went to, i asked for a box of nickels, and she said "alright that will be $20" and i told her a FULL box. but she insisted they were $20, until she was like "ohhh, you want a BIG box" lmao yea a $100 big boy.
