Nice customer Nickel Bank Roll.

Coin_nut1977

2 Silvers, 1 1938s and lots of common 40s and 50s

maybe they threw away an old whitman blue folder - nice score, the 2 silvers worth enough to buy another roll

Jimnight

Not bad from what I see.

What is the date range? I see a 1940 and a 2012. Nice roll find!

Probably from a collector that just couldn't stand the clutter anymore. I've been doing that lately except I pull the war nickels and anything before 1950. Even then I don't know why I keep them. How many 1948 worn out nickels does one person need? And...I'll never cash in the war nickels for the silver. I've also been getting rid of solid uncirculated bank rolls of Westward Journey nickels. The local merchant is happy to take them. It actually is a relief to get rid of them. It's just junk taking up space.

Just to add; I don't mean in any way to say that the roll of nickels featured in this thread is junk. It would be great to come across a roll like that if that was what you were looking for. I just mean to say that after 50 plus years of accumulating Jefferson nickels that I personally am a little........ Over stocked!

The roll was probably made up by heirs of an estate who found a very old container full of coins and cashed them in at the bank. There were probably other denominations as well!

You just don't find multiple silver nickels along with many other early date Jeffersons in a roll these days. Something unusual happened!

Or, my first thought was that someone had passed away and the family cashed in dish of coins that had been sitting in that old dresser for decades....
Just like my kids will likely be doing with me eventually- cheerful thought!
More motivation to clean it up before it comes to that- as in the first sentence of your speculations.

In any event. It is a cool find and would be great fun for someone filling a Dansco from circulation. :-)

Nice find.

I agree with this. I have many, many tubes of old Jeff nickels pulled from circulation during my life. I know they are only worth face value, and always will be. However, I cannot bring myself to get rid of them.

Yes, Since the late 60's I to have been pulling from circulation any Jefferson including and prior to the 1960 P. I usually get 2 to 5 silvers a year, although none in this past year. Pulled from change two 1950 D's a few months apart. The only two I've ever found.

I keep any war nickels I find... and I have a jar of nickels from change that have only been partially looked at. My wife long ago got tired of piles of change on the dresser, so got a set of screw top jars (large) and put the change (sorted) in them... been doing that ever since when I empty my pockets. So far, almost full jars of quarters, dimes and nickels and two and a half (large) jars of cents. Soon she will want me to go through them.... I can see the look in her eyes when she sees the dresser - then looks at me. Cheers, RickO

Oh the look
Been married 45 years now and I know it well

Anyone who is married knows "The Look".

A Home Improvement episode dealt with "The Look". Dolores (the wife of the owner of the hardware store) gave "The Look" at various times during the show.

Very funny.
