So, I had purchased 37 rolls of nickels in a collection that hailed from the 60's. The owner had a laundrymat
at a military base in S. California desert. Been putting off going through them as I need a magnifyer to read
the dates and it was just a pain. Well, finally did it and here are the results:
37 owner wrapped rolls:
Exactly one roll of war nickels
9 V nickels
2 shield nickels
15 full date buffalo nickels
26 partial or no date buffalos
one silver dime from 1952.
I did not look for any of the varieties such as the s/s s/d, etc. I'll leave that up to the next collector
as these are getting deposited in my back next week (35 rolls).
My take is that I expected a lot more buffalos and was disappointed. I seem to remember that
buffs were pretty common through the 60's, but maybe it was because I was in Carson City and
we had gambling?
Just an observation.
