A few days ago, went to a bank to pick up some Nickels before going to work. Teller pulls up some shotgun rolls, and then i saw it. A huge S, a Huge P, another Huge P, and another huge S. Acting quickly, I grab one of the rolls and check the other side. I can barely see a 1944. I ask the teller if she has anymore nickel rolls. 6 more rolls she has left in her till. I ask for them and sure enough, all but one has visable silver nickels. One is covered at the ends, but has a strange 1943P notation. I open the roll and find of course, 1943P silver nickels. I end up grabbing 10 rolls of Silver Nickels. I could've gotten more, but the MOD refused my request to see if there were more rolls (either in the vault or in other teller's drawers, never asked specifically to have them look in either area). Which sucked, because I had a $50 on me, and if there were a little under $40 in silver nickels elsewhere in the bank....Hoo-boy. Now mulling if I should break open the other rolls and see whats inside.
Are you kidding? I don't know how you could not open the rolls. What condition are the ones in that you looked at? Great find! Please let us see some. Thanks Darryl
mjpm.com is paying just over $24 per roll to buy them (I do not endorse them, only use them to gauge current value). That's an awesome return on your investment already, but imagine if they were ALL 35% silver.
Say, if you sell them on eBay, all the bidders, or supposed bidders will think that you have already searched through the roll. I say go for it!!
Absolutely because most are. That's why some of us run infoauctions. Crack em open or run a bogus ebay auction with the possibility of an SVDB sandwiched somewhere in those nickels.
Heck, I was just happy to find one silver nickel in my change today. That is an awesome find. Let us know the total of silver nickels that you found.
