Today I got my first rolls at the bank. I got 22$ dollars worth of nickels. One of the rolls consisted of nickels form the 50's. Here's what i got from all 12 rolls. (1)1947-D with some error on "God We Trust" (1)1948 (2)1951 (3)1952 (1)1952-D (2)1953 (2)1953-D (1)1954 (4)1954-D (3)1955-D (5)1956-D (2)1957 (5)1957-D (11)1958-D (1)1959 (1)1968-S (1)1968-D in EF-AU condition (1)1969-D in AU or higher condition (1)1974 in AU or higher condition (1)2003-P The reverse has this awesoe tone. Canadian (1)1989
You be one lucky dude! I count about 1 in 10 from 1960 or before!!! Don't plan on that each time!!! BTW, I think the most valuable are the VF-AU ones. I think a lot of people are always looking for the old ones. I think it's a much bigger deal to find those slightly older jeffersons in AU shape. You might want to turn the unwanted nickels in soon and hit the same bank again - maybe you'll get lucky with another 50's roll.
It's funny you say that, because when we were in the car leaving the bank I saw the roll labeled 1950 and when I had opened it, sure enough it was full of 50's. Anyways, my brother siad "turn around!!: on the way back he bought 40 dollars worth of nickels, not a single roll like mine. Yes I think it would be a good idea to do that.
After yesterday, I can see why people often favorite nickels. I think I'm addicted to roll searching.
