<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John77, post: 2998559, member: 79277&quot;]So on Thursday I went to a bunch of banks grabbing between $20 and $50 in nickels from each... In all, I bought $396 in nickel rolls... they were a mixture of CWR and MWR... the MWR were a mix of LOOMIS, Brinks, Old style Brinks, and String&amp;Son rolls...</p><p><br /></p><p>One bank I bought $50 from included 17 S&amp;S rolls, and 8 old style Brinks rolls... I went through the S&amp;S rolls first and only found 4 pre-60s, though one was a 46-S and another was a 51-S... So I was happy...</p><p><br /></p><p>Then, I poured open one of the 8 old style Brinks rolls... and I saw all kinds of coins dated 1946 through 1952, many with S-mintmarks...</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]741353[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, there were old coins and S mints everywhere! As it turned out, six different dated coins where in there: 1946-S, 1947-S, and 1952 coins, as were the semi-key 1949-S, 1950, and 1951-S coins. Needless to say, I was shocked, and quickly opened the other 7 rolls... more of the same... over 40 of these coins, all from these 6 dates and mints, along with a 1975-S proof showed up.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you know me at all, you know what I did next... I went back to that bank... the sweet Scandinavian teller who had helped me the first time though wasn&#039;t at the window... so I asked the teller in the window next to hers if she was still at work, and she pointed behind me - she was with another customer helping set up a business account. I told that teller I was wanting more of her nickels... but she misunderstood me and I thought I wanted some nickels from her. She opened a fresh S&amp;S box and seeing they weren&#039;t new, I took $20 worth...</p><p><br /></p><p>Then I sat and waited for the teller who had helped me earlier... I then started to unroll the S&amp;S coins... first two rolls didn&#039;t produce anything... then the third roll came... and I see a 1950 appear...

And yes, the <b>D</b> WAS THERE!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]741359[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Needless to say, I&#039;m in shock, and grinning a mile wide!</p><p><br /></p><p>About 10 minutes later the teller who had helped me the first time came over, and I explained I wanted more of her rolls... so she went through her inventory and found five more rolls that were like the ones I had purchased earlier...</p><p><br /></p><p>I opened them first thing when I got home and found 21 more of the old coins... In all, the hoard produced 62 coins, including 24 of the semi-keys (1949-S, 1950, and 1951-S), dated 1946 through 1952, and that 1975-S proof. The vast majority are in Extra Fine or better condition:</p><p><br /></p><p>1946-S: 12</p><p>1947-S: 9 (2 BU)</p><p>1949-S: 9</p><p>1950: 7</p><p>1951-S: 8</p><p>1952: 17 (1 BU)</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]741354[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]741361[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>What a crazy day!!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
