Message:: [QUOTE="krispy, post: 931866, member: 19065"]I don't roll search too often, and mainly I just do nickels when I feel the urge or when I have a little time to spare. This past week I picked up $10 worth of N.F. String & Son Inc. type rolls with the machine crimped  ends. I found my first Buffalo, a 1920 and virtually dateless, but with most  of the rim. The date doesn't show in the images well, but under a loupe and the right  angle of raking light I can make out the "20" part of the date. It's really nothing too special, as this is one of the more common date  Buffalos, but it is my first that I've found by roll searching. I also  pulled a completely blackened, possibly spooned and battle weary 1943-P war  nickel, even the lamination is falling apart! It weighs just 4.44 grams in this condition. Must have been at the front line.  There were also a few less spectacular finds in these few rolls, but I pull most anything prior to 1964: a '46, '47-D and 2x'58 nickels. <img src="http://i776.photobucket.com/albums/yy46/kcttck/US%20Coins%20-%20Roll%20Searches/1920_Buff_Nickel_5c.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="http://i776.photobucket.com/albums/yy46/kcttck/US%20Coins%20-%20Roll%20Searches/1943P_Jefferson_WarNickel_5c.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]
