I’ll bet someone missing that key
You can be a hero

 

Not bad - a bag is 2 boxes, so 1.5 war nicks per box is average.
Next ask for a bag of large dollars.

 

That's the special "bonus" the bank gives out to promote getting rid of bags of nickels. Take it back to the bank & if it's the "lucky" key, you get to keep whatever is in the special lock box. (I once won a bag of cents, all wheats!)

 

Is that a key variety?

 

Great shot at finding a decent variety or error coin in that lot.

 

And the 1941 has a nice reverse cameo effect. That would be a nice addition to an environmental set as with the 1955.

 

Good for you! Something is always better than nothing. I just picked up a box of customer wrapped cents yesterday. Six rolls in and 6 doubled dies, all minor but it looks good as they are only Memorial cents so far.
