My best box had a 2009-D, a nice (though not BU) 1941-D, 2 war nickels, a 1939-S, and a 1950-D.
267,500 pennies and 186,000 nickels searched. Hand sorter.

I was at a BOA once getting some pennies, had an extra $10 so I got 5 rolls of nickels. Got 3 war nickels out of them. Went back the next day for the rest of the nickels from that box--nothin'
