Hey Guys!
I was able to pick up ten bucks from the bank in nickel rolls yesterday and went through them to look for some cool finds! Sadly no buffalo nickels but I did find three nickels from the early years of the Jefferson mintage. Which were:
 |
| This 1939 D nickel, I had the 1939 already but not this one |
A really cool find considering Jefferson nickels began production halfway through 1938, so a really early find!
 |
| Found another 1947 piece, but I already have one in better condition |
 |
| Both of these coins from the 50's were great since I did not have either of them! |
 |
| Only a few coins from the 60's, including several 1969 S nickels. |
 |
| The coins from the 70's were few and far between this time around |
 |
| Even the coins from the 80's were fewer in number. Only 25 nickels! |
 |
| A big jump in number when I hit the 90's. 59 coins this time. |
 |
| Lots of coins from the 2000's here. I even found several shining examples of the "peace medal" and "westward journey" reverses! |
 |
| And to wrap it up a fair number of nickels from 2010-2016. I picked out several examples that still had lots of luster! |
In total, out of the 200 nickels:
- 156 were minted in 1990 or later years
- 44 were minted in 1989 or before
Overall I feel that there was a much higher concentration of recent nickels compared to the last nickel roll hunt I posted. I hope to get some more in the future, and will will post the results when I do. Hopefully I can find another buffalo nickel!!!
Have a great day and happy collecting!

P.S. If you guys have any suggestions on coin hunting activities you would like to see me blog about, let me know with a comment or something and I will work to include it in a future post!
