Well today I headed home for the weekend and stopped at a few banks on the way. Three stops got me $100 in dimes and a box of nickels plus another $40. Overall I think I did quite well....

Nickels:
3 - 1943-P
2 - 1943-S
1 - 1945-S
1 - decent looking 1939
37 other pre-1960 nickels
2005-P Canadian Victory nickel (anyone know what the P stands for?)

Dimes:
1 - 1964-D

Tomorrow I'm heading out early and hopefully picking up at least another box of nickels and maybe another box of dimes.

Happy Hunting,
Codes

***Update***

Just an update to my original post...

I went out on Saturday as promised but I didn't come home with as much as I wanted. >:(

Nickels ($40):
1 - 1939
7 other pre-1960 nickels
The nickels I got from one of my banks were all hand-rolled and I'd say about 90-95% of them were 1961/1962, which got me excited at first since early 1960's nickels have "the look" of pre-1960 nickels. But then when I looked at the dates I was disappointed. Oh well, its all part of the game!

Dimes ($100):
$100 = Skunk.

I believe the 'P' on the canadian coins was when they were changing the composition of their coins to some kind of alloy of mostly steel rather than the older compositions. I believe they have made the transition fully now. There were a few years when they had a couple different varieties though.
