I agree, after my luck with the WHOLE roll of 50's nickels, I know what really makes collecting coins fun. __________________ Colin Another great forum: http://www.freepowerboards.com/coinlover/   06-16-2007, 11:39 PM   #10 (permalink) Coinlover The Coin Collector     Join Date: Jul 2006 Location: Festus Missouri Posts: 3,088 oh, all of these rolls are solid blue rolls. they are those old looking ones. only a few are the newer ones. the strange thing is that i found the 7 pre 1960 in a new roll! i scanned through another roll and found a 1949 and 1941 in one roll! i searched another one and there was nothing. i got 18 more rolls to go! we are hitting the road tomorrow at 8:00 in the morning. we are going to eat breakfast in jackson missouri about 1hr 45min from here. well, have a good weekend and week! __________________ Star Note Lookup   06-22-2007, 11:23 PM   #11 (permalink) Coinlover The Coin Collector     Join Date: Jul 2006 Location: Festus Missouri Posts: 3,088 i'm back from that trip! the drive was long, 9 hours one way. we put 1,200 miles on the rental car. well here are the results- 1949S, 1940(2), 1957D(3), 1948D, 1948, 1954D, 1941, 1958D(2), 1959D, 1942, 1946, and a 1938. one of the 1958D's looks really good. i also found a very worn 1990D. also a hanful of 2005 nickels and 46 1960-1965 nickels. i also found 1970S(3) and 1969S(2). pretty good totals.
