Nickel score of a lifetime!

Today while at my bank returning coins one of the tellers told me they had 100 dollars face value of old nickels. I was told they all had dates on the rolls. This is a quick picture of what I have to look through and I will keep this thread updated!

Ok sooooo what are the dates on the rolls?!?!
Don't tease us like that!

 

I'll take a chance on almost anything at face value. Can't wait to see what you find!

 

These are the amount of labeled rolls of San Francisco coins.
2 rolls of 1940s
4 rolls of 1941s
6 rolls of 1946s
12 rolls of 1947s
1 roll 1948s
2 rolls of 1949s.

 

Last time I got nickels in those wrappers they were all uncirculated.
All from the early 60's.

 

Wow! Can’t wait to see whats inside them.

 

Nice. Was hoping to see roll after roll of war nicks

 

For rolls marked Denver mint.
1 1938d
2 1941d
3 1942d
2 1946d
2 1948d
3 1949d

 

@NLL you haven't looked through them yet. Why you keeping us waiting?

 

No 39-D or 50-D? Picked over.

Does that 1938-D roll say "foil-wrapped"? Pretty sure you're on to something here...!

 

For Philadelphia mint coins.
1 1938p
2 1939p
1 1940p
1 1941p
2 1942p
2 1946p
1 1947p

 

If that is what it says, the original owner had terrible spelling!

 

I just looked through the 1938, 1938d, and 1939 rolls and all of them are accurate so for now I will assume all rolls will have what is represented. This is a picture of the first half of the 1938d nickels.

 

Second half.

The coins were in foil.

 

I have to go to a baseball game soon so I will not be able to look through anymore today. Maybe tomorrow I will get to some more. I will also post pictures of the best coins found when I get to it. Thanks for your interest guys!

 

Enjoy the game!
I will just be watching a game on TV here tonight. Too hot to leave the house.

 

Could be some silver in the 1942 rolls.

 

congratulation. Good chance for varieties and over mint marks. Go slow.

 

What game?
Have a good time. We are headed to the Rockies/Astros on the 3rd.

 

Minor league baseball. I forgot that you lived in Colorado. Maybe I can meet you at a Rockies game some time?
