I thought some of you might want to report your Canadian nickel sorting percentages and/or U.S. cupro-nickel buying reports.
When I bought a box of pennies today I though I would ask for $30 dollars in U.S. nickels. The tellers had to scrape them up among themselves but they delivered. |

Report on nickels searched:
$50.00 -- 20 CWRs and $10.00 worth not in rolls
V nickel - none
Buffalo - none
War Nickel - one -- 1/1945D
Proofs - none
Canadian pre-1982 - one -- 1/1979
2009 - one -- 1/2009P
Other found - one -- 1/1985 Canadian nickel (kept for birth year coin project)
Kept for nickel album - too many to list This was a very good search in that I filled 32 empty spots in my Jefferson nickel album (1938 - 1964) and was able to do upgrades on 13 coins!!! Some of the nickels would probably grade in a high AU to low MS condition. Several of the nickels found were 1938s and 1939s! Trying to fill this nickel album with just coins I find through searches has been exciting. Hopefully I will eventually find all of them; however, the war nickels may give me a bit of a problem as the one I found today was the first one I have found in a very, very, very long time.
Another interesting thing was that I found the War Nickel and the 2009 nickel in the same roll and they were back to back coins. Ironic!
Other stats: One roll was over ten cents (two nickels), One roll was shorted five cents
Overage/shortage total: Over five cents 
Enjoy your coin searches, everyone.  |

1 BU roll of 2005P buffalo. Came from a string roll, is there any premium on these in BU condition?
One of the war nickels came in a roll that had 9 1940's nickels and 2 1950's nickels. Based on recent discussion about what to keep I dumped my 60-63 nickels in rolls to return. I had 2 full rolls and 4 extra coins from those. Of the 59 and earlier I had about $2.50 worth of keepers left. I think it really shows how easy to come by the post 1960 nickels are. That was before I found about 20 more keepers in the second half of these rolls. I also had about 12 82 and later canadians. |
