It&#039;s got 36 adjustable compartments and cost me something like four bucks at Wal-Mart. They have &#039;em in the hardware section and in with the fishing tackle and maybe in the Crafts section, too. Note how I aligned the stickers facing the <i>rear</i> of the box instead of the front. This enables me to use the lid as a sorting tray. 36 slots was just right for one per year going back to 1961, which is just about where the two folders divide. I bought another box like this for sorting the earlier coins but then I realized I wasn&#039;t going to find that many earlier pieces, and the one slot at the top left suffices for all 1938-60 coins found in a particular batch.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k173/lordmarcovan/Jefferson%20Nickel%20Circulation%20Set/SortingTray.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s how the folders looked after the first batch.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k173/lordmarcovan/Jefferson%20Nickel%20Circulation%20Set/Folders-after-batch1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><b>Batch 2 results.</b></p><p><br /></p><p>Batch 2 was 15 rolls I bought from the safe at the hotel where I work.</p><p><br /></p><p>In the second roll I hunted, there was a pleasant surprise!</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k173/lordmarcovan/Jefferson%20Nickel%20Circulation%20Set/1929-Buff-CircFind-Feb2012.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>There were some other goodies, too.
