Report on nickels searched:

$10.00 -- 5 CWRs

V nickel - none
Buffalo - none
War Nickel - none
Proofs - none
Canadian pre-1982 - none
2009 - none
Other found - none

Kept for nickel album - none


Other stats: One roll over 5 cents, Two rolls shorted 5 cents each roll

(I know this is a very small sampling and as thus wouldn't be statistically accurate, but when only two of my five rolls were correct in count that is only a 40% accurate rate. That is a poor reflection on our society!)


Overage/shortage total: Shorted 5 cents

$100 NF String box of nickels

WORST. BOX. EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :x :x :x :x

1 Canadian ('87)

2 S mints ('40, '47)

21 pre 1960 keepers, oldest a '39P

NO WAR NICKELS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The only saving grace from an otherwise REALLY cruddy box was a semi key '50P (less than 10m minted).

Gosh.......you sure do stay busy sorting coins!!! If I tried to do the amount you do, I'd be totally crippled--both vision and my hands/fingers/back.

Amazing. Love reading your stats.

Enjoy your coin searches, everyone. :geek:

If this gets posted more than once, it wasn't my fault. I hit submit and got the error message of two many users/connections...something like that message that I had posted about in the problems area before.

In 1 roll last night I found 2- 38D, 2-39S, 38, 40D, 41, 47, 47D, 48, and a 49. One of the 38D has a gouge on the 8 and the others are quite dirty. What's the best way to clean these without losing any value on them? Thanks
