Another week, another 9 boxes of cents...
This week was great!

- 123 wheats (oldest 1920) including a 1935d (only my 3rd found)
- 2000 WAM (my 41st)
- 3 pre-60 Canadians(44, 54, 57). The 54 is a hole filler and a low mintage - only 22mil minted.
- 1982 CUD - This one is a copper.
- 1983 CUD covering most of the date - AWESOME!

And now the pics:

 

I agree the new nickel obv. is just plain ugly. Do we have to wait 25 years for a revision???

 

$100 in nickels: Over 150 silver nickels. The earliest one being 1940. Averaged 2 per roll and the max amount of silver coins in the roll was the whole thing!!!

I'm not sure I understand your post. You searched a box of nickels and found 150 silver nickels, and one roll was a full 40 silver nickels? The earliest date was 1940. Are you thinking pre 1965 nickels are silver like other denominations? You are aware there is only 11 different date and mint mark nickels that contain silver? Those being 1942 through 1945 and they have the mint mark on the reverse above Monticello. I have searched many boxes of nickels and the most silver I've turned up is 4 in a box so 150 would be, in my opinion a miracle find.

 

A box of dimes while I'm waiting for the refrigerator repairman:
1 merc(looks like it has been underground for the last 70 years. Can't tell the date)
1 plastic toy penny.

 

Well guys and gals I over the last month or so I have hit some pretty decent luck (for me, a small volume guy.) In fact, it seems like I have hit MORE SILVER when I am "not trying" than when I am trying and actively seeking silver coins.

1st, I went to Raleys (a grocery store down the street from me, a lot of the checks know me and know I am a collector.) and one of the checkers says to me "Hey, I found something for you!" usually this means it is a dirty penny, or a coin from Panama or something. This time the guy pulls out a 1941 Washington! MAN am I STOKED! I tried to give him $2 for it, but he said he couldn't accept it. I ended up getting it for face! Really awesome because just a couple weeks before this I got a 1936 Washington from the gas station across the street from my work IN CHANGE. I couldn't believe my luck!



Now, flash forward a few weeks later (this happened Saturday morning the 5th of April) and my wife is getting ready to leave for work and she empties out her purse for change, looking for quarters for laundry. She says "Hey what is this?" and she hands it to me and I immediately see the moose. "Oh this is a Canadian quarter, hun" I say to her and I sort of brushed it off because 99.9% of the time I find a Canadian coin it is from the late 90's to mid 2000's. Not to mention that ALL Canadian coins (besides cents) have white edges so they trick me more than I care to admit.) Then I walked into the light with it, and it looked more white-ish than chrome. So I looked at the date - 1963! Wooo! 80% silver! 3 silver coins inside of 2 months or so!

 

i dont have a camera, but its just a big clear plastic bag with a white label. it looks something like this (from google images) but no printing on the bag and a less detailed label

 

thanks

 

Just out of curiosity, what does one hunt for with Eisenhower dollars? The occasional 40% silver one? Do Morgan or Peace dollars ever sneak their way in?

 

Ya, I just found that out. I thought that like quarters and dimes, nickels were 90% silver as well. Oh well...

Were any of the 150 pre-1964 nickels silver? 1942-1945 with mm over the dome?

 

Kanderus, that is not a moose on your canadian quarter, it is a caribou!

 

Rolls finds:
I forgot the amount of rolls I searched today.
Pennies: 1918 (ag and bent), 1939, 1942 (AU or ms) all in one BWR
