Today's Coin Roll Hunting

Histman

So, I picked up a box of nickels today just because I was bored. I found several foreign coins and then something really special. Take a look at the closeup.![]

COINS MAKE CENTS

Nice... an S mint war nickel..... as uncommon as war nickels are anymore, the S mint is the prize (at least that is what it seems) Cheers, RickO

I was just thinking the other day about searching rolls other than quarters ....... but it just seemed the possible lack of returns on base-metal coins (vs possible silver) wouldn't be worth the effort/time, especially since I can't identify varieties, etc with my eye issues (and lack of knowledge). Would be strictly dates or cases such as finding a stray V, Buffalo, or War nickel (great find, by the way!!).

I might have to try my hand at halves again, though. Last few times I tried, however, didn't even find any 40%'s, and the only recent dates I need were not minted for circulation, so the odds are it would be a wasted search. But still maybe one more time.........

I also picked up a box of halves with the nickels. Found 3 40%, a Bicentennial Proof, a 1987-P, and 7 NIFC. The halves have been spotty for me, but I pick up a box a week and I still get some now and then. Found a Walker in the box last week.
