Looks like some nice finds. Nickels are fun to search because you can usually find something.

HH!
 

Welcome to the club. You seem to have good luck finding war nickels. Awesome.

Keep hunting. From what people say persistence is the key. Before you know it you'll have a nice collection. All the best.

I love nickels as well. Hopefully you will find some nice buffalo's as well as a few v nicks. There hard to find but persistence is the key. Good luck!
 

I know that persistence since I've been at it for a year just having to have someone drive you around is really annoying for a person that dosen't enjoy the hobby, but i have been successful I've found 1 V-nick (Holed 1906) And 2 '50D one being in at least AU maybe MS 60.
 

Just an update went back through my finds from my last penny box and found a 1960D/D in Unc condition :headbang:
 

Very nice results! I'm looking forward to hearing your results. Good luck.

2 1950-D's is amazing. I found one a few days ago and was shocked at my good luck--never expected it. Finding 2 is incredible. They are so rare.
 

Thanks BuffaloBoy and SilverSlug have 2 boxes of nickels and a box of pennies coming in tomorrow! And I'm thrilled because I'm ordering from a bank that i have order nickels from 4 times each time with amazing results(Box1 2 solid 1940s rolls, Box2 1920 Buffalo nickel and 3 war nick's, Box3 1906 V Nick and a 1950D, 3 solid rolls of 1949 1957 1958).
