Unfortunately I haven't kept up with this because obviously I open rolls 3-5 days a week, but I haven't posted here since August 31st, which was almost three weeks ago. However I will now post todays results:
20 rolls yielding 15 pre 1960
4 of the above were 1939-1942

Note: a 1979 in showroom condition! Lol

Opened another 20 rolls today, pulling 20 pre 1960 nickels. That's an average of exactly one per roll which is probably double the National average. Of the above mentioned 20 pre 1960, 8 of them were from 1938-1941. I like the 1938 Jeffersons because they are very difficult to find.

How long did it take you to sort the ten boxes? Also, did you roll up the junk or did you feed a machine?

Hmm guess I got lazy. I usually put the dates. Sorry.
3-4/9-22.
I retooled some. I am able to “trade out “
at a chase.

I am lucky to still have two credit unions with machines.
That said, I am picky about not allowing junk coins those go to fast food places.

Opened 23 rolls this morning and pulled 14 pre 1960 including a 1936 Buffalo and a WAR nickel. The WAR nick was in the very last roll. Current melt value of that war nick is only a buck, but try to find them for a buck at a coin shop, flea market, or coin show - you can't!!!! Then again, I paid only five cents for this one.

After I sort $100 , all the keepers go into one roll. Usually at 500 I get out three cottage cheese container lids. For 38-42,,46-49,,50-55..
those go into individual coin rolls by year and mm.
With the “ low” mintage into one with that label. This would be 38,39,46/9 S, 50 d, p, 58p. Those only they resorted when the tube is full
Same thing with wars.

So today I did the resort. Imagine my surprise to find a 50 D.

In the warsi finished off a 43P.

Opened 15 rolls today, finding 7 pre 1960. The best one was a 1938 S in VG-F condition. In eleven plus years of doing this, I have found only around 5-7 1938 S mint. That's scarcity!

I haven't been posting all of my results. Tough to do when dealing with mass quantities. But I am reporting today's search:
15 rolls ($30 face)
Only TWO pre 1960, but amazingly one was SILVER!!! for the record, the other was a 1948.

$44 face. First 15 rolls were Loomis, then 7 CWR's 13 pre 1960, the oldest a 1939. Also two CAD .999 nickels
Interesting Find:. A 1961 in absolute BU condition. They look so nice when they're perfect!

Ordered a box from my local bank last week and opened it today. A Loomis box with disappointing results. But I have decided to post more specific details since this was a complete sealed box and not a conglomeration of different banks or customers. Anyway, here goes:

Pre 1970 - 136 (lots of 60's junk)
Pre 1960 - 28
Pre 1950 - 12, the oldest being a 1939
4 Canadian, but all 1982 and newer.
Again, very disappointing.

Turned out to be 20 extra nickels, or, it is right on and the various pennies and dimes, did not register in the counting.

Haven't posted anything here in a long time. Searched $100 in nickels, almost all was CWR. Thirty two 1959 and earlier, including 3 War nickels and 2 no date buffs.

Searched $65 in CWR dimes - nada.

But did find a silver dime in the coinstar on Black Friday.
