I've only searched 3 boxes of nickels so far, but I have found 8 war nickels. I guess my totals are about average. |

I've only sorted 2 boxes of Nicks and so far, 2 War Nicks. I'm in Philly, well just over the Delaware border and haven't seen a canadian nickel, pre-82 or not. Though, I usually find 1 canadian penny per 5 rolls. |

My question is, what's the average for Canadian (any year/composition) in rolls or boxes? Out of 2 boxes, I've gotten zip. Though, I did go through a bowl of change my girlfriend brought home from her students the other day. I found one "king" Canadian nickel. |

I normally get about 2 canadians a box, with 1 .999 Ni per 2 boxes. |

Only four boxes so far, but am averaging 2 per box. Only 1 buff, only 6 canadian--all 1990s, but a nice U.S. 1990 S. |
