Good Box?

Hello, I don't search nickel boxes very often but picked up 2 yesterday while getting my weekly penny allotment. The first box (String & Son) yielded 3 war nickles which I was quite pleased with but the second box...that's where it gets interesting (for me). Until yesterday I had never seen a Liberty nickel and now I've seen (8)! I found (8) Liberty's, (10) Buffalo's and (2) more war nickels. The 1945 nickel looks almost un-circulated, 4 of the steps are visible of the reverse. I'm not a grader though so who knows. The 45 also has golden toning on both sides which made it stick out like a sore thumb when I dumped the roll to search. Anyway, I was excited to show my kids and wife who very also amazed. BTW, a big thank you to this forum for turning me on to this a while back.
Mike

Wow nice score. I have done over 50 boxes of nickels and I have never had a box like that. Congrats

Coingrats, but just keep going after a few of the skunks keep stinking up the house, another one like this may never show again.

This kind of find will energize me for months, it just hard to fathom how so many ended up in one box.

Looks like you hit a real rare box, I'll grab 2-4 Buff's and 8-10 Canadian pre-82's, but never any V nick's. Well done!

Amazing! I have done hundreds of dollars of nickel searching and have only found 2 buffs! but one was a 1919s in very fine condition. I do find a good many war and lots of really nice au at times for my book sets I am working on.

Congratulations, although I wish that I had found that box instead of you.
I hope that my turn is coming.

Searched another box yesterday, and found 1 dateless buffalo. Oh well, I'm probably not due anytime soon.

The drought is over, pulled 6 silver's out of 2 boxes today. Much better luck than the dime boxes I do occasionally.
