Message:: [QUOTE="LA_Geezer, post: 3528342, member: 89393"]Someone else pointed out the nickel situation some time ago in a thread on Jefferson nickels. And, as it would happen, I just went through 38 pounds of mixed US coins that belong to a friend. These came to me in three cotton sacks but I have no idea how many coins I looked at. There were NO 2009 Jefferson nickels at all, three 2009 Lincoln cents that had been badly abused and a single, great looking 1964 Roosevelt dime. I chose to cull all of the pre-1982 cents, and I kept the better looking quarters from 1965-1982. I also kept the THREE Jefferson nickels from 2005 that I found in all of this, but in all a bit discouraging for all of the hours I put into this. My friend has more of these sacks of coins at his house. When he thinks of it, he takes a sack or two to the church, and others to local charities, but has offered to let me sift through all of them before he gives them away. Who knows? Maybe there's a 1916-D Merc in one of those bags.[/QUOTE]
