Discussions pertaining to the investing in, collecting and saving of U.S. CuNi Nickels and Canadian Ni and CuNi Nickels, and other coins containing nickel. Put in your "5 cents" here.
I bought $10 in nickels in CWR from my purchase bank on a whim while buying my usual pennys for the weekend. Got a war nickel and a dateless buffalo. Not bad for 5 rolls. Does anyone else have remarkable finds from a small purchase?
soundman -- first post on new board and I like it already
I "bought" one roll from the coffee fund at work and it had a war nick, along with a couple from the 50s, and a couple from the 60s. about a half hour later I saw a lady with eight or nine rolls with the same wrappers in her backpack. I asked if she wanted to get rid of them.......and they were all skunks. So one war nick and nine or ten rolls for the nickel hoard. I was happy.
I also got ten rolls from Wells Fargo the other day when I took my kid to cash her paycheck. I was pleasantly surprised to get a war nick in that lot as well.
I was playing the nickel "slots" at vending machines at work. I got a 1938 VF. Obviously dumped from someones collection. It was way too nice and shiny to have been circulated much.
