<p>[QUOTE=&quot;AllCoExpat, post: 2476333, member: 56947&quot;]The head teller at one of my pick up banks asked in passing if I&#039;d be interested in taking $500 in halves off her hands yesterday. I assumed it was someone else&#039;s dump, but I hate saying no any time they set something aside for me. It ended up being 18 BWR and 32 CWR, so I crossed my fingers and dove in. It gave up 3 NIFC (2002-P, 2011-P (x2)) and a 1991-D hole filler. Feeding into the earlier discussion on marking coins, &quot;Buffalo Boy&quot; was well represented in the customer wrapped rolls.</p><p><br /></p><p>$50 CWR dimes - Skunk</p><p><br /></p><p>$76 CWR nickels - It was a pretty average collection of circulated pre-1960 coins until about halfway through the pile... then I hit two rolls that gave me this:</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>1913, 1914, 1915, 1916, 1917, 1918, 1919, 1920 (x2), 1921 (x2), 1923, 1925, 1925-S, 1926 (x2), 1927, 1928 (x3), 1928-D, 1929 (x2), 1929-S, 1930 (x2), 1934 (x2), 1934-D, 1935 (x4), 1935-D, 1936 (x3), 1936-D, 1937 (x3), 1937-D (x2), 1938-D, 1939, 1941 (x4), 1943-P (x3), 1946 (x2), 1946-D, 1949, 1953-D, 1955-D, 1957-D, 1958, 1959, 1959-D. That&#039;s a total of 33 buffalo nickels and 3 war nickels. They were all circulated, but I know my jaw must have dropped when all those buffalos started falling out of the roll.</p><p><br /></p><p>Seeing a &quot;mini horde&quot; like that end up back in circulation always makes me a little sad... and makes me wonder what might happen to the collection I&#039;ve laid in once it passes out of my hands. One hopes he&#039;s given the next generation enough information to know what they&#039;re looking at is worth something more than it&#039;s cash value.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]521948[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
