| I just got a buffalo nickel. 1935, worth about $0.35. I am finding some rolls a nickel short. No war nickels as yet from box #3. |

Sweet Dan - we have a club for successful buffalo hunters :) Better go join quick! I get about 1 or 2 US Jeffs per roll of nickels on average, so I have to cover a LOT of nickels to find a buffalo. I was saving all the jeffs, but I decided to just deposit them for now rather then tie up hundred in CuNi at the moment. Figure I better put the money in silver for now. |

Ran into a road block on the 1/2s. Bank says it doesn't ever carry, or order them. I will talk to them again. Just finished a box of nickels. One 1935 bufalo and one war nickel. I gotta get some dumpage together.

| Hello everybody, I just got back home with a box of dimes, a box of nickels, and two boxes of pennies. One of the boxes of pennies was actually 50 customer rolls placed in a box. There were 3 dimes in the customer rolls! 29 cents profit! I just waded into the dimes and got a 1960 on the sixth roll. I'm going back in. |

The only way I am sure that the rolls of pennies I am getting are customer rolls are if they are marked on the sides (like the score I got of 1 roll marked 80-81 and 4 rolls marked 70s)
I am out here in the country and I think that when things are slow in some of the smaller local banks that don't have the high tech wrapping machines the employees roll a few loose coins themselves. There certainly are a fair number of employees hanging around getting paid in the off hours with few/no customers to wait on. I am sure that otherwise they gossip/chew the fat a lot to entertain themselves.
I know the plastic wrapped rolls (I think of the plastic as penny condoms LOL) are done by some company or companies unknown to me but like HCBTT I get about the same amount of copper out of them as I do out of paper wrapped rolls. |

| Personally I consider anything handrolled, ie not crimped both ends by one of the big coin processors, as CWR. No differance if it was rolled up by a bank teller, a store clerk, or granny at home. Also, I've gotten the crimped deposits of a local vending co. We both deal at the same coin friendly bank - and the vending co rolls are just as good. |

Got my second buffalo, but you cannot read the date. Bummer. 7 war nickels, one with distinquishable steps to Monticello. The rest are pretty worn.
