Been awhile since I posted here on this thread. That's because I didn't sort any nicks in Feb. Sorted here and there the last 7-8 days

$160 - all 80 rolls were CWR

44 pre 1960 but nothing "good"

13 Canadian including 5 .999's

Two foreign - one was Greece 1982 the other is unknown to me

While sorting on Tuesday, I came across five interesting rolls that I have to report separately. First of all, there were 203 total nickels in this batch which means I got three for free. Check out these numbers:

1 1941
61 1946- 1949
118 1951- 1959
21 1960
1 1961
1 1962

I suspect that a dealer bought out a collection and kept everything 1945 and back (along with 1950) The rest was turned into the bank

I bought 58 rolls of nickels on craigslist last night, and some other random coin.

$32.20 1960-1963 (nickels '63 and earlier are hoarded together)
$83.75 1964-up (newest 2005)
$0.05 Canada

Odd group for sure.
