500+ Nickel boxes in 365 days! All stats updated daily!

Its a low mintage in the "modern Jefferson nickels series" roughly 44 million minted in Denver off the top of my head. My goal is to own 0.01% of the total population one day around 44 thousand!

I would have to guess around 12-15. But who knows might get some type of collection dump through out the year to come!

 

Nope. I check each 39 Philadelphia right when I get it! I also post photos of every 39 I find just in case I miss something

 

Alright so this next box is insane. Heading back to the banks today to pick up 7 boxes and then 6 boxes tomorrow. Hopefully I can catch another one like this! Should have it up within the hour!

 

Box 40


Wow! Two V Nickles! Heading back to the banks to do my rounds and pick up some more boxes.

2- V Nickles 1908 and 1912 (we missed it by one year 1913 )
1-Error 1999D Greaser
1-Foreign Japan

2-AU/BU 1961D and 1963D

That's amazing! Didn't think V nickels were still out there

 

Box 41


Nothing much to say. Pretty low finding box but can't complain about a nice silver with some lamination issues on the obverse. A very nicely toned one as well.

1-Silver 1945 Philadelphia
2-Toners 2011 Philadelphia and a 1990 Philadelphia
1-AU/BU 1981D
5-Common 40s
8-Common 50s

Master list updated from 34-41 total boxes below. Silver is falling behind. Surprisingly a lot more V nickels then I thought I would find. Averaging around a buffalo every 4 boxes is low as well. Hopefully it picks up. The 50D was a nice add to the list this past week!

Very happy overall with this box. No silver but some nice errors and a key date 38s! A foreign we haven't got yet. A very nice BU 73 with some strong steps.

That was decent! I wonder if a Shield will turn up in 500 boxes. That would be really cool. Has it happened for you before? Anyone here?

 

With 458 boxes to go, I guess anything could happen.

 

A 1 in a 1,000,000 find? We will have to wait and see!!

 

The only shield I've found was in a customer wrapped roll years ago. Not going to find one in a bank wrapped roll. The Shield nickel is 20.5mm. It is smaller then liberty,buffalo,and Jefferson nickels. I'm not saying it's completely impossible but highly unlikely.

 

The Ducat I found was a little smaller and lighter than a Jefferson. 2 cent euros also turn up regularly. I'm guessing that it is possible, but I have only heard of one being found in another forum. But nothing in the past 6-7 years. However, even the heavy CRH enthusiasts don't normally get through 500 boxes in a couple of years or 3. So we will have to see. Are you keeping your Buffalo from this challenge separate (thinking about the dateless)?

 

I count the dateless buffalos as well with the total buffalo count on the master list. Date or no date it still counts as a buffalo find

 

I’m curious of the following:

How many circulation sets of Jefferson Nickels will your challenge yield?
How close to a complete set of Buffalo (including pickled and dateless) Nickels will your challenge yield?
How close to a complete set of V-Nickels will your challenge yield?
Will you find a complete roll of 1942 D Nickels?
Will you find a complete roll of 1939 rev 38?
Will you find a Henning nickel or a major DDO or DDR?

just a few things rolling through my brain. Time will tell!

 

Box 43


Not to bad of a box. Nice die clash not as strong as the others but is is still present on obverse and reverse.

1-Error 1976D Die Clash
1-1951D
2-1939 Philadelphia
1-2009 Philadelphia
3-AU/BU 1974 Philadelphia 1981D and 1988 D
8-Common 40s
11-Common 50s
4-2009D

 

I will definitely track the buffalo and V nickels to see if we can get close to putting a set together. The Jefferson sets unfortunately I have around 5 BU sets already and have stopped building Jefferson sets. But I pull out all the AU/BU from 89 and earlier. Maybe we can put a set of pre 89 together

The Henning nickel is still something I have never pulled. I would love to find one in the wild!

I think for sure we will have a complete roll of both the 42d and the 39 with 38 reverse.

I am always looking for the 39 ddr which is also one of my favorites to find. But I am always looking for major varieties. Im sure one will pop up!

 

I think your updates will bear out how many sets you can build. I’m guessing 2-3 relative to the 50D and 39D. But there is always a nemesis coin that doesn’t reveal itself for whatever reason (used to be the 1942D) for me. But the scarce low mintage show over time how elusive they are.

 

Just wanted to share what came in the mail today! Pictures do not do the color justice!
