What I found in a roll of Jeff nickels today

Once a week I go to the bank and get about $20 in nickels and any half dollar rolls they may have. Usually I find one or 2 silver 1/2 dollars and 5-10 pre 1960 nickels I set aside.
Today I opened one roll of nickels and hit the jackpot. Don't know how this happened but I got:
about 7 1960-1970 nickels
2 1939 nickels
1 1943 S silver nickel
about 15 other pre-1960 nickels
AND 15 buffalo nickels!!
8 have dates and the rest do not.
How about that! I almost screamed with delight upon opening the roll.
I don't think I'll ever have a find quite like that again. THe roll had an accound # on it and 2 other rolls had the same # on them, but yielded 1-2 pre-1960 nickels and the rest 1964-2003.
Too cool!

Always looking for attractive rim toned Morgan and Peace dollars in PCGS or (older) ANA/ANACS holders!

<< <i>Check the 39's for doubling on the lettering on the reverse. >>
Is there any increase in value if the letters are doubled on the reverse?
Thanks for the heads up!

There definately is. A 1939 nickel with "doubled monticello" Is worth about 25 times it normally is (in circulated condition)

No key dates/MM. Mostly 1930's, some 1920's. The dates from the 20's are very worn and partial. One 1924, 1921 (I think), 1927 and a couple others. Still, an unexpected find.
I'm going back to the bank tomorrow if its open to get more rolls...

Don't forget... if there is a 26-S that has hardly any detail, it still might be MS!
