Struck Nickel!

[BuffaloHunter]

Hello all! I stopped by my local Wells Fargo today and picked up a box of nickels. About 6 rolls in I found a 1934 plain date buffalo, and guess what? There was a 1943-P war nickel in the exact same roll.. I was pretty hype at this point and after I found a few pre1950 jeffersons, I thought my beginners luck had died out. And BAM, the very next roll a faint but sure 1918-D buffalo which is a semi key. I always thought loomis nickel rolls were bad... huh.

Nice finds! Congrats. Also, did you create a new account on the forum? I see the same finds were posted yesterday but under the account NickelLover...hmmm

 

[BuffaloHunter]

Yeah, I was having trouble with the other account so I restarted. Any way to "terminate" the other one?

Here are the photos, sorry for the bad quality!

Great work. Loomis nickels seem to be ok in my book.

Nice finds! I found an 18-d once in a box too. Mine was a solid VG with a clear date (no 8/7).
Do you know how to tell if it's the overdate? Almost always you can see the die crack above the hair braid - even in heavily worn coins and most dateless coins it is visible. If you are ever looking thru a pile of worn or dateless buffs, check for that die crack on all of your d-mints!

Will do! Thanks mate.

You can most likely PM one of the forum moderators to help you in getting rid of the duplicate account. Nice finds! Love nickel hunting for that very reason.

Its a bit rough, but I'm not seeing it.

 

[BuffaloHunter]

What would you grade it as? Poor-6? Or maybe a G-3 at most?

 

[Tommybuckets]

Funny I just got a dateless Buffalo out of five rolls of Loomis Nickels. Wish I had gotten the box.

Congrats, any mintmark? I once bought a roll of buffs of eBay, most people say that they are searched and they most likely are. Almost all of them were searched but I did find a 1913 S Type 1 and a 1926. Cheers to his carelessness!
