Yes, just rolls from the bank
It's OK if you are working on filling an album but the coins you show will merit no premium. Are you spending your collecting time and effort in the right place by roll searching. Probably not.
Just a hobby
Can’t seem to find the Philadelphia
Keep an eye open for this one-the "Zombie" nickel.
I like that Zombie nickel - I had forgotten the date of that one. I'll have to keep my eyes open (no pun intended).

Sure will and I will name it also
The Zombie nickel is the result of overzealous polishing of the dies that clashed. It probably exists for other dates.
Beat up but my first nickel rotated die
Finding a 38 is an event. Only found one in all my years of searching. And that was 40+ years ago.
Wow! I have 3 now
Dang! Close but don’t think so
Looks as if you are having fun.... That is great and what a hobby should provide....interesting finds and pleasurable hours ......Great pictures too.... Cheers, RickO
Finding '38 and '39 dated nickels is not much of an event for me, but finding one with a mintmark is an event. I have found about a dozen '39-D's but only two '42-D's - one just last week.
That's just the opposite of my experience.
Found quite a few 42-D but never a 39-D.
Weird.
I agree! What a Hobby. What other hobby can you have fun searching through rolls at no cost? The same time one can find a special coin to make a profit? Once again, at NO cost.

Keep at it Coin_nut1977. At this point you are dedicated. If you keep your focus, someday you will Have a very nice collection and what's even better......knowledge!
Also, roll searching Jefferson nickels is fun to a point but sooner or later it's a dead end. Keep at it but read everything you can find. DO RESEARCH. If you do your research you will eventually branch out. Regardless, if you stay the course, everything you are doing now will pay off in the future. Others here are telling you the same thing. Just be persistent. Good luck!
And...smash down the staples on your 2x2 flips. They can cause damage of not flattened. Also....you can get twice as many coins in a box if the staples are flat!
$10 bucks gets you a flat stapler. Roll searching is fun. Peace Roy

I have them in plastic sleeves. I have confidence they will be ok. Thanks though! Merry Xmas
Thanks guy! I feel burnt out sometimes already. Like I just CRHing somebody else’s. I have a pretty good knowledge with nickels. I’m sure I will move on to bigger and better! Cheers! Merry Xmas!
I love roll searching Jefferson's. I have lot of albums Ive made, including an AU that is nearing completion! I always have trouble finding the 58P!
I’m sure I have a couple. I’m seeking early S for sure!
I love to coin roll hunt for Jefferson's as well. One of the few places left where I feel like I can consistently find coins 1964 and earlier. It's not about the money or rarity for me, just brings back good memories from my childhood.
