Found a 1942 Regular Composition and a 1943-S silver

A little bit of dumb luck got me another regular composition. Yesterday I found a 1942 and today I found a 1942-D.

 

That's a nice set of nickels. From different rolls I assume, but the source might be the same...someone's collection?

In the past 3 months I have found about 10 silver and 2 regular composition. And, today I found a blank nickel. I'm guessing that someone's collection or accumulation got dumped into a coin star.

 

Here is the blank, 4.93 g

 

Sounds about right. I'll bet that happens quite often. Bad for them, good for you.

Those are nice looking coins. Also nice that you are still pulling silver from circulation.

 

I have been collecting for over 75 years. This is the first blank I have ever seen in the wild.

 

Here is a nice looking 1958 from this same hunt.

 

I have this one and I have no idea where came from....

 

I have several but I’ve had them for so long I can’t remember where or when I got them. They are copper so older than 1982. Could even be from Wheat cents for all I know.

 

A nice addition to your collection even if you don't know where they came from. They add interest.
