Loomis nickel box 1892 V nickel!!! 1945d war nickel! 1 1939 11 1940's 9 1950's. The V nickel is almost worn slick on the back and has a ring from the coin counter. I think I would be pretty worn down if I was 122 years old so I am not complaining.
Some really nice finds lately Hunter! I found two 1913 Type 1 buffalos last year but I'm still looking for my first V nickel. The V u found is rather slick which is quite common for V nickels but a 1892 is definitely an earlier/better date. And that '37 buffalo is in great condition. And u found a war nickel in each of those boxes too which makes it even better. I got a nickel box myself for the wknd. Hope I can find a little something good.
Btw, Id sure say that '37 buffalo is at least VF or better. Is the reverse as nice as the obverse? Can u see some of the buffalo horn? That coin looks like it came out of someone's collection recently.
congratulations on a very awesome nickel box, 5 in one box is almost unheard of these days. Also, the 1943D you found is the key date to the war nickels with the lowest mintage... If I were you I'd definitely keep that one (if you intended to sell your other finds) .
go back and get some more nickel boxes from that bank if you can.
I ordered a box for next week, so I hope I have about the same luck with it. I needed the 43d for my set now I just need about 7 more to have a 1938-1961 set. Happy hunting!
Great nickel box! I found a '43D nic myself too about a month ago but I don't remember ever finding 5 silver in one nickel box before. I got a nickel box for the wknd that Im just about to start and I'll be happy if I can just find one or two silver or dated buffalos.
