Coin Roll Hunting: Nickel Bank Box Break #5


I purchased a box of nickels from my bank and these are the results:


Pre 1959: 16
Silver War Nickels: 0
2009: 0
Total EF - BU Coins For Albums: 119
Key Find(s):1971 (BU)


Verdict: These were customer wrapped rolls.  I haven't seen any machine wrapped rolls in a while.  I was skunked on silver war nickels and 2009s.  The rolls did contain some nice coins and I was able to upgrade a few of the coins in my collection

Coin Roll Hunting: Nickel Bank Box Break #4


I purchased a box of nickels from my bank and these are the results:


Pre 1959: 19
Silver War Nickels: 1 (1945P)
2009: 0
Total EF - BU Coins For Albums: 136
Key Find(s): 1945P, 1968 (BU, Rainbow Toned)

Verdict: These were customer wrapped rolls.  I kept up the 1 silver war nickel per $100 trend, although the dry streak of 2009 nickels continued.  I found a nice assortment of circulated 1940's and 1950's in this lot.
