It seems as though my roomate has been holding out on me. He does not collect coins but knows very well that I do. Today he says " Yea, I got like a thounsand nickels in my room, think I am gonna cash 'em in." He had no idea that I would have any interest in looking through them. This should be fun!!!!!!! He also has just as many quarters, dimes , and thousands of pennies. I will be looking through the nicklels tonight. I will let you know what I find!!
My co-worker gave me a jar of coins (mostly pennies) that I could look through and keep anything exciting. I just had to roll the rest and let him cash them in at the bank. Several wheats and Geo VIs, but the real find was a 1983 shilling that is virtually obliterated on the obverse, but the reverse is pretty readable. How that got in there, I'll never know.
well, about halfway through, nothing special so far, except those annoying 1964. 17 of those so far. 1-1954 1-1957-D 1-1953-D I was very happy to find a 2005/bison. I have never seen one in circulation. Strange. I have a bunch of the other new designs but never came across the bison. I think the design on the reverse in possibly the best newer design on any US coins!
Seriously, if you find any of these, please let me know edited - please remember forum rules 68 D 59 P 58 P 55 P 52 D 52 S 51 S 50 D (of course) 42 D 39 D 39 S 38 P 38 D 38 S editedThanks.
Good grief charlie brown..get ta lookin man..get ta lookin! LMAO..let us know if you find anything kewl
I agree 1000%. I am not a power roll searcher, but I do my share, plus Pocket Change. And I find more pre-1962 nickels than Bisons. The only one I find a lot of is the OceanView one. But the bison is another story. In fact, I STILL do not have a "P" example of the bison - no need to offer one, I need to find it myself for it to go in my circulated album
To: Tjenkins_1983 I have a 1951S nickel if you still need it for your collection. I search rolls for the fun of it but don't have any books or any collection. I just have ziplocks labeled 1930s and earlier, 1940s, 1950s, 1960s, 1970s and Bisons. I do keep all my 2005 Bisons and have 4 rolls of them already taken from bank rolls I searched and from checking my change daily. When I get enough in a baggie, I roll and mark them. I got a Buffalo nickel in a roll about a month ago but it is so worn that the date is not readable. It's still sweet to find one in a roll. I tried sending you an e-mail but it says that you have chosen not to receive e-mails. I'll gladly send you this 51S if you want it. I just need your adddress. Drop me an e-mail if you want it *~*Joey*~*
So no awesome finds in my roomates nickels. The other day my friend who works at a bank got an original bank roll of 1960-D nickels. He gave them to me, and I was very pleased to see a nice roll of uncirculated nickels. Also, I found one lone 1960 (P) in there!! Awesome ; ) No fs found, but at least five or so had no bag marks(scratches)
I spent 150 dollars in cash awhile back, to trade in at the bank for $150 dollars worth of nickels, and i got a few decient ones, the best was a 1944-S that came back from ANACS as MS-65 5 steps.
thats too bad that you didn't find much. my mom was off work today and we went to the bank to deposit some cash for our vacation next week. while i was there i got $40 in nickels. i'm not going to open them until sunday when we are on the road. i uncripled the ends of each roll, and i saw a 1938 nickel staring back at me! its going to be hard not to look inside!:headbang:
