<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John77, post: 2560467, member: 79277&quot;]We&#039;re all familiar on this forum with long skunk streaks in hunting half dollars in coin rolls and/or $500 boxes... though not everyone who searches for halves defines &quot;skunk&quot; the exact same way... In a box though, it usually means no silver.</p><p><br /></p><p>Cents and Nickels are <i>generally </i>considered &quot;skunks&quot; if they produce no Wheat Cents or pre-1960 dated nickels... and of course, we&#039;re usually elated to find War Nickels, Buffalo Nickels, and Steel Cents, and even the occasional V Nickel or Indian Cent.</p><p><br /></p><p>Very recently, I went through a 4 day wheatie skunk streak... over 2,300 coins without a wheatie... a mixture of MWRs and CWRs from my usual sources...</p><p><br /></p><p>And just the other day, I bought 25 rolls of MWR nickels from one of my usual banks and a teller who had just gotten a new box... The coins looked fine on the outside, but they only produced ONE pre-60 - a measly 1957-D, and, to add insult to injury, not a single 2009 dated coin was in the batch! I&#039;m happy to say that someone else &quot;cleaned out&quot; that teller&#039;s other nickels from that box the next day...</p><p><br /></p><p>Alright... so what about the rest of you? Share your worst skunky nickel and cent/penny stories!&nbsp; Let&#039;s vent!!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
