    25 rolls of Brinks' nickels. 8 pre-1960, 3 - 99% nickel Canadians and a very high AU 69-s.

    Not a single war nickel, though. I usually find 5 or six per box.....maybe they are all in the next 25 rolls!

    Five or six per box? That's incredible, in my opinion. The most I've ever found in one box was four of them!

    Just finished box 1 of 4 Nickels. (5 or 6 per box, tommybee? Dang! You're pretty lucky!) I didn't find any buffalo or war nickels but I did find:

    13- from the 1940's
    16- from the 1950's
    1- 1988S Proof
    1- Weird nickel size coin with Elizebeth II on it that says One Penny on the reverse. (No idea what it is but it's modern so probably not worth much) Looks copper
    1- Crazy looking coin that's about as thick as aluminum from a can with a picture of St. Peters monument in rome. Can't find a date. Pretty odd and will make a post on it. (Italian chucky cheese token? lol)
    and 1- 1939

    Stinks I didn't find any war nickels but this was by far the oddest box so far.

    Finished that box of nickels. 25 rolls. Found 8 pre-1960 including two 1938's..one in AG and the other F, also found 3 more 99% nickel Canadians. I put together an entire roll of high AU/MS 2010 p's too.

    Oh, and this was my first whole box without a single war nix.

    My ikes sold. $200 even. Was hoping for more, but whatever, it's $150 more than I paid. I should pocket $32 all said and done.

    Merc - good for you, dude. I sold 100 Ikes for $125 bucks on eBay last night. The reserve was $125. I'll clear only $9 after fees. I think I may take your approach and list the next 100 (I bought a $1000 bag for face) at $150 as I don't really need the cash right now......

    Maybe I'll put something on Craigslist, too.

    Nice on the Ikes, I'd sell some of mine, but they mean more to me, because Grandparents used to give them to me almost all the time. Some day.

    Wish the banks were open today. Does anybody know if TD is open?

    I'm almost positive TD is open today, I need to drop in to pick up some cash and change for work... and for me to go through.

    3 boxes of halves this weekend - no silver and probably 60 coins that look like they've been buried.

    What kind of loupe are you using to spot those, 19?

    Debating what to get today... quarters and dimes, dimes and nickels, nickels and cents, cents and dimes, cents and quarters, nickels and quarters?

    So here is another dumb story for you. Went to TD (they are open) dumped my jar of change, noticed that they now charge like 6 or .6% to non-customers who use the penny arcade and went to buy 2 boxes of cents. They said no and that I needed to order in advance. Went to the OTHER TD down the road from the first, called ahead to ask if I could buy box of cents, they had 1. Went in, got the box and 2 Ikes no questions asked, no problems, and they didn't check to see if I had an account or anything...so dumb...I swear the banks are getting more dumb.

    Anyway....out of $28.50 in cents I got 15 2009, 14 Wheats (1942 oldest), 11 Canadians, and approximately 15 rolls of copper

    I hate TD but as long as their policies are relatively friendly...

    2 war Nicks ('43-P and S) out of a box, and almost done a box of cents now...
