If your percentages are low.. just sort more. If your percentages are high.. just sort more.
Let me see if I understand this? If you cross the North Korean border illegally, you get 12 years hard labor; the Iranian border illegally you are detained indefinitely. If you cross the US border illegally, you get a driver’s license, a social security card, welfare, food stamps, free health care!

The first panacea for a mismanaged nation is inflation of the currency; second is war. Both bring a temporary (and false) prosperity; both bring a permanent ruin. But both are the refuge of political and economic opportunities. |

| Thanks for jogging my memory on the 39's, PreservingThePast. I just picked up the #1 Cherrypickers guide at a coin show this weekend. I need to check some of those War Nickels I have been finding too. |

| The $500 face Cdn .999 nickles I'm selling on this forum were pulled out of $3300, or 33 boxes, or 66,000 nickles between August 2008 and April 2009. I averaged 15% pre-1982. US nickels; 2264 or 3.4%. |

Last night I found a nickel with heads on both sides. It is a toy becasue it sounds different when you drop it, and weighs more than a nickel. It really threw me for a curve, it was a 1994 that was in mint condition, so I turned it over to see if it had steps on the other side, and see a 1996 heads! I had to look at it a few times just to be sure.
Just found another 2 headed nickel. No wars or buffs in the last five boxes, but two 2 headed nickels.
Magic coins. Nice |

Checked $200 face CWR nickels last night:
1 Silver War Nickel
1 1950-D (my 1st one ever)
18 rolls were all pre-1960 (no significant dates in those rolls, but nice nonetheless).
Neither the War Nickel nor the 1950-D were found in the 18 rolls.
I also bought whatever other CWRs they had:
$100 face in dimes yielded 1 1964 silver Rosie.
$20 face in pennies yielded:
20.4% Cu
2 Canadian 98%
no wheats
