Message:: [QUOTE="John77, post: 2545503, member: 79277"]Both times it was nickels... The first time was 30 years ago when I worked as a cashier at a local fast food place. I got a roll of nickels with a blue wrapper, I dumped it into my drawer, and it made a very weird sound... 15 of the coins were War Nickels! There was a 1942 Canadian nickel in AU. The other 24 coins were all dated 1940-1954. The next time was two months ago (8/18 and 8/19/16) ... I grabbed 26 LOOMIS rolls from a teller at my local bank. It produced 99 pre-60s including a 1938-D Jefferson, and a 1937 Buffalo. I went back first thing the next morning and got the remaining 18 LOOMIS rolls she had (she had given out 6 after I left). Another 71 pre-60s including a 1936-D Buffalo. I grabbed a box of 50 more LOOMIS rolls from another teller. Back to back rolls produced the XF 1938-S and AU 1939-D coins in my current avatar, along with a dateless Buffalo and 34 other pre-60s. In addition, there was about about a roll worth of various Uncirculated coins dating from 1956 to 1979 in the batch. Unfortunately, those were the only two boxes of LOOMIS nickels they got that shipment. 207 pre-60s including 3 keys and 3 Buffalos. What a couple of days!!! Interestingly, there was not a single silver coin in the batch, making me think someone was collecting the coins over a long period and pulling the silver ones.[/QUOTE]
