Nickel stat

[reddirtcoins]

Well, so I have been sorting nickels for about 7 months now and here is a good stat, that is if you are wondering. This is when I hit $10 of war nickels

$.15 Liberty
$1.85 buffalo
$10 of war nickels
$94.30 of pre 60's nickels.

Sorry, I never thought about keeping tabs on boxes but I easily do 2 boxes a week.

That's a decent ratio of War Nicks to pre 1960s. I haven't found too many war nicks but that gives me hope. I've been finding one roll of pre 1960s in two bank boxes.

Do you mostly search bank boxes or CWRs?

99% brinks boxes... seems hard to get CWR..

Up to now I've only been sorting CU, 10 boxes a week from my small town bank, they order them from the Fed. each week to be picked up each Wed. I have a dump bank about 20 miles away where I work. They have a counting machine & take all I have loose & deposit into my acct. The small host bank has been "begging" me to take their CWR's of nickels and other silver. I don't want to run them through my reydale. How are you sorting them , what years are you looking for and how much is the return? Any info you can share I'd appreciate. Thank you, from the Dark Corner of S>C>

I just hand sort my nickels (2-4 boxes at a time) and keep all of the pre 60's. Everthing else I toss unless I find something of interest.
About $1.75 for the war nickels but I hoard the pre 60's, buffs and Liberty's so I have no clue.
Dimes I run through the ryedale and it is a hard life pulling silver there but I get some. All of that I hoard.
You know, I have swapped up on coins but come to think about it I have never really sold anything just for the cash. I did sell pennies so I could pay for the ryedale but, I didn't see that as selling. I put the money back into the bank to get more coins.
