US Mint Codes for Nickel Bags

ElKevvo

I am working on getting organized a bit and have some of the bags of Westward Journey nickels that I bought from the Mint when they came out. My Order History on the Mint's site does not go back that far so I am using what I dig up on eBay etc. to put together what the boxes have in them. I think these are correct but wonder about the 4V5 and 4V7 as there were no active listings or ?? that I could find, might not even be the Keelboat. If these are wrong please let me know...thanks!

A QUICK search revealed this. (See the last image.) If you need to, it is possible to distinguish between the two codes using this.

And Keelboat they are....thanks! I do wish that the US Mint would, on their site, provide a list of all the Product codes, year, mint mark, original price etc. Would be great for research!

I did a little more investigating. I think that the following is accurate:

When I was a teen nickel bag had a whole different meaning.

I was waiting for a funny reply like that

Well if you had a nickel bag that weighs as much as these things when you were a teen you would have been very popular with some of the kids in High School!
