1933 nickel.

The first time I find one in two consecutive boxes.

Only 14 George Vth found in 222 boxes.

1933 penny from my hoard of unsorted boxes I am still working thru.

1922 nickel from 100$ box.

The first one in 230 boxes.

1930 Canadian Penny (nice looking too) fell in the dump side as I was going through the last bin of Canadian pennies I have left to sort. Saved from the penny melter at the last minute literally. I think that makes 5 George V's pennies found in the wild for me in all time.

Found -- 1929 Canadien cent

First George V find in 130th box (325,000 coins) here in Minnesota. Fun!

1931 nickel

Second found.

Open a box of Nickels I picked up, dumped the first roll into the bin for Ryedale sorted and a 1932 just popped out!

Bought a haul of 281.5# of Canadian pre-82 nickels, so about 28,150 coins, with no war nickels. Of this total, there were 255 George V nickels. No 1925 or 26 coins, but an XF/AU 1922 with some lustre. So the George V's were 0.9% of the total lot.

Someone let me know if I need to break down the 255 George V nickels by date and I will... Might take a few days to a week- got lots of other stuff going on now.

Got a 1927 George V off the TD magnet today

Wow. Nice haul. I certainly wouldn't say you NEED to sort them... but I bet a few of us would enjoy knowing more about what you came across.

Ok uthminsta, here you go- I'm revising the total from 255 to 261-- the breakdown is as follows:

1922 23 (incl. 4 in VF-AU)
1923 18 (incl. 1 in VF-AU)
1924 10 (incl. 1 holed- ouch)
1925 0
1926 0
1927 17 (incl. 2 in VF-AU)
1928 21
1929 28 (incl. 1 in VF-AU)
1930 19 (incl. 1 in VF-AU)
1931 28 (incl. 2 in VF-AU)
1932 23
1933 19
1934 10
1935 24 (incl. 4 in VF-AU)
1936 21

There you go! Done for now...

Found a 1932 Canadian cent this morning. George is looking very spry for his age - only a little of the green crud near the rim on both sides - otherwise, all lines, letters, etc are very sharp.

1st one of these I've found.

A 1933 king cent appeared to us today, the second George V to cross our path from the north. The first was a 1929 cent back last September.

Our oddity cents now include 1 blank Zn planchet, 2 Geo V, 2 Steel, 4 Indian Heads, and 6 Wide AM (all 1998).

Got a 1928 George V today! Woo hoo! My second ever.

Stack until it hurts.


**** Sorry forgot to say it was a penny. ****

Not a lot of postings in this thread.

Got a very clean AU - 1933 George V 5 cent piece off the TD magnet today.

Found a 1921 George V cent in a bank roll today. It is the third in the series discovered, and the oldest.

Picked a '32 cent from a bank wrapped roll. Only the 5th found in 8 years of searching.

Wow three years since the last reported find.
