<p>[QUOTE=&quot;midtncoin, post: 2866977, member: 89569&quot;]Also finished up another $100 box of nickels, again all Loomis.&nbsp; This box fared much better for pickers than the box of cents from the previous post.&nbsp; Started out with 4 QE Canadians.&nbsp; Then found a LOT Of pre-60&#039;s.&nbsp; </p><p>1938</p><p>1939</p><p>1940 x5</p><p>1940D</p><p>1941 x4</p><p>1941D x2</p><p>1942</p><p>1942D</p><p>and another 21 from post 1945.&nbsp; I was surprised by the number of pre-WW2&#039;s that were found. </p><p><br /></p><p>But the two best finds were totally unexpected.&nbsp; Came across a 1923 Buffalo.&nbsp; The &quot;19&quot; was gone but the &quot;23&quot; was clearly visible.&nbsp; Sadly, it had a bit of corrosion on the obverse.&nbsp; Still, pretty neat to pull a buffalo out of a roll of nickels. </p><p><br /></p><p>The other find was a 1996P nickel that is slightly off-center.&nbsp; It is shifted NW from the 4 o&#039;clock to the 10 o&#039;clock position (from the obverse perspective) and the off-centering is on both sides.&nbsp; The shift is slight but it is significant enough that the top of the last three letters in &quot;TRUST&quot; are missing.&nbsp; I have no idea how to calculate percentage of &quot;off-centeredness&quot; but I don&#039;t believe it is enough to give the coin a premium.&nbsp; But I&#039;ll 2x2 and hold on to it just as a curiosity piece.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
