<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CoinSeeker138, post: 1213757, member: 31864&quot;]I average about one war nickel for every box ($100) of nickels I search.&nbsp; I also usually find several non-silver forties, and once in about every two boxes a &#039;38 or &#039;39.&nbsp; i&#039;ve had the best luck searching nickel boxes for silver because not everyone knows about the 35% silver nickels.</p><p><br /></p><p>The first box I went through I found a 1938 in uncirculated condition!&nbsp; what a find.</p><p><br /></p><p>This story kills me.&nbsp; I had searched through $500 in nickels or so and found no buffaloes.&nbsp; My girlfriend asked if she could go through a couple rolls, so I threw her three and said she could keep anything she found.&nbsp; First roll, she yells &quot;Buffalo Nickel!&quot;&nbsp; I looked, and it was one of the new ones <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; I said that&#039;s not a buffalo nickel.&nbsp; On the third roll, once again I hear &quot;Buffalo Nickel!&quot;&nbsp; I said yeah right.&nbsp; Sure enough, she had a buffalo nickel with a nice full date on it.&nbsp; I thought she was tricking me and had taken one out of my collection.&nbsp; So, it&#039;s in her piggy bank (reserved for old coins), and I still have yet to find a buffalo nickel in circulation.&nbsp;&nbsp; Rats.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
