<p>[QUOTE="Kevin Mader, post: 8542744, member: 106826"]I enjoyed searching nickels the most. You are bound to find something of interest. Older nickels...varieties...oddities. Always something. In all of the boxes or bags ever searched, I only found 2 higher value pieces: 1939 Henning and a 1914 gold Ducat. The Henning is the most valuable...not even sure what it would fetch but I've not seen another with the Obv/Rev combination. I'm guessing maybe $250. The gold Ducat will pay spot. When I checked back then, about $125. I've also pulled dozens of variety DDOs/DDRs that are in AU/BU condition, ranging from $5-25 if you can find a buyer (estimated prices from Brian's listings). Of course, nobody is going to get rich. It's always about the thrill of the hunt and finding something of note...as minor as that might be.</p><p><br /></p><p>Honestly, I've enjoyed seeing Larry's finds over the past several months.
