1999-D?... I don't see that in my thread lol.

 

It’s in your picture. Maybe it was the purple toned coin you mentioned?

 

Oh my... My mistake. Yeah it's just a nice toned nickel. I usually don't post toned coins as I can never get the picture to show the colors. Nothing special tho.

 

Sorry, I just now figured out what you were talking about. Just a nice toned nickel

1 toner nothing special but a nice purple haze

Definitely! I'm hoping after 500 boxes I get 10+ rolls of silver! Looks like we are on track so far. Very early tho.

 

I would think that if you search 500 boxes, you'll have yourself a complete set or two of Jeffersons and a decent dent in a Buffalo set. I suspect that I probably only searched a quarter of that over many years and built up a few sets and a nearly complete Jefferson Nickel Roll Set. Good luck on the hunt! So far my favorites are the 1942D (hard to build a roll from circulation) and the 2000D.

 

I fully expect that it'll happen. They usually come in bunches; collection dumps. I once had a box where there were 11 V-nickels and 26 Buffalo nickels. Oddly enough, no Silver War Nickels, but in the second box I picked up there were rolls of 1960s BU nickels with many 1964 and 1968 DDOs/DDRs. I suspect with 500 boxes, our fellow enthusiast will find similar clusters. This could be a really exciting challenge. Typically, I set myself up for an annual challenge to kick off the New Year and I recommend that other CRH enthusiasts do the same. Putting the stats together helps build understanding and setting future, realistic expectations. Good stuff!!

 

Sorry guys and gals no boxes tonight. I have 4 coming in on Friday,3 on Saturday, and 2 on Monday for a total of 9 this weekend including Monday. I have 12 coming in the following week and for the rest of the year 12 per week!
