<p>[QUOTE="Troodon, post: 26065095, member: 4626"]If you're patient you can definitely finish Jefferson nickels purely from roll hunting... even the keys are not impossible, they'll just take quite a while to find. Silver is probably more common here than in any other coin, just because they're not as well known and don't look as obviously silver as 90% silver coins. After a few months of doing these only missing 4 war nickels and 3 key dates. I'm still being stubborn about not just buying the rest... but I've decided if I reach the point where 1950-D is the only one I need, I'll go ahead and buy that one!</p><p><br /></p><p>Roosevelt dimes... well I've already finished the clads and did so in 2 boxes. Nothing in this series is particularly rare. It's the silver years that will take forever if you refuse to buy any, as you're lucky if you get 1 or 2 per box. (When I found 5 in a box it felt like winning the lottery lol.)</p><p><br /></p><p>Canadian small cents I'm sure I'd be finishing faster if I lived closer to the Canadian border (currently live in Colorado; was finding these way more often when I lived in Washington state). I got folders for them when I reached the point of having over a roll worth of them (I've decided I'd do the same for other Canadian coins if I ever got a roll worth of nickels, dimes, or quarters).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
