    You might find a few. I don't have that much trouble getting pre 1964 (I keep all those even though they have no silver). For 1959 and earlier (and especially 1949 and earlier) I wouldn't get my hopes up. I notice I find quite a few 1961-64 with some '60s but older than that gets a lot tougher. Silver is next to impossible but pre-WWII nickels show up on occasion, too and every once in a very long while you'll get a buffalo. I've never gotten a liberty nickel but this girl I worked with last summer sent me an email the other day and said someone paid her with a Liberty nickel so I guess anything is possible.

    Good Luck!

    Hi CC,
    Here is what I think you will find in those 5 rolls of nickels you get to search through

    at least 7 1964-d
    1 1957-d
    and alot of 1970's and 80's

    a few from the 90's

    you might even get 4 or 5 westward nickels and if you do they will be bison or ocean in few let us know what you find.

    Bruce.
