Damn. I want to save that link. HOW

 

They are extremely valuable. If you check ebay sold listing I just sold one for $500 about a month ago. A also have a few of these 1975 High D Mint Marks. If you can find one in Gem quality and get it graded I could see a few thousand for one!

 

Finding S and D mint specimens is harder on the East Coast...but not impossible. Especially for nickels (and more so on silver war nickels). Cents, on the other hand...a bit more challenging.

 

Here in Texas I find S and D pretty common. Its those darn Philadelphia I never get! So when I find a 1955 out of Philly its even more exciting for me!

 

Those 1955 Ps are tough to find. I only discovered that there were two obverse conditions once I started looking at putting a roll of them together. Most I have are washed out looking while the others are crisp. So hard to find but harder to find with the crisp obverse. And I don't think it's a case of die state. But worth a deeper dive at some point.

It's funny though about what we have trouble finding: location, location, location.

Absolutely happy with this box. Got this amazing "Struck Through" error. A semi low mintage and a couple odds and ends. And of course finished it with a silver

The 2009D totals are climbing much faster than I would have guessed. Interesting. Nice greaser by the way. Both sides is not that common in my experience. With the full rim, I'm wondering if that is a weak strike. I might need to look that up...

 

The reverse it true after checking. It's a greaser: "A weak strike will show a poorly developed or absent design rim. A grease strike will show a very well-developed design rim." https://crncystore.wordpress.com/2013/08/23/weak-strike-coins/

 

Yeah the "Five" word is almost completely gone. It is rare indeed to have on both sides. I love finding these struck through errors.

Interesting enough I know a lot of people have trouble finding 2009 but here in Texas I average usually around 6-10 a box. Rarely any phillys tho.

 

Well Well well!

Can you spot the ender?

 

!! I’m jealous. I’m nickel hunting as we speak no silver in the last 60 rolls if not more. Nice find!

 

Just hit a MONSTER BOX! Tons of finds and is taking me time to edit the photos. Should be up in about a hour.

 

Box 16


What a box guys. Geez. Very happy with the finds. Unfortunately when i did my rounds today to pick up 8 boxes I forgot to mark them so i can track where the box came from. If i would of marked them i would be heading back to that bank to get another box! Oh well.

If these boxes are all like this we are in for a great weekend!

Went to the bank to pick up a couple boxes. The teller informed me if I wanted two sealed boxes or she could give me one sealed and one customer wrapped.

I have mixed emotions on customer wrapped rolls. Either there always searched or little amount of hits.But when I saw these I noticed a strong smell of perfume and the wraps are different colors and types. So I chose the one sealed and one customer wrapped.

We will see in a few hours if I made the right choice.

 

I'm always happy to get customer wrapped coins. When you hit...you hit!!

 

Box 17


So only half the box was customer wrapped rolls. But it gave out a key and semi key and the nice rotated die error. Very happy overall with the box and am glad those customer wrapped rolls pushed out some very nice finds.

Box 19


What a absolutely sad box. I was hesitant to even post this box but you guys and gals have my word no matter how crappy a box is I will post it! It still counts as part of this 500 box series and is good to show people you will eventually get a dumpster fire box

Surprisingly there were more 40s nickels than 50s

13-Common 40s
6-Common 50s
7-2009D
1-AU/BU not super nice but has some visible steps
1-Error 2001D Misaligned Struck. Not as "off" as I would like it to be but still off.
