I wonder what's in this box of nickels
hey everyone is Rob with Rob finds treasure and we've got a nickel box to hunt today
so I got this nickel box at a bank that I haven't been doing a little bit I've
been really trying to mix up my banks I've been trying to go to my dye banks
and get nickels and my nickel banks and get dimes or pennies and you name it
just trying to kind of play the roulette a little bit if you will now the banks
hitting I keep going back and getting that denomination but nickels have been
a little bit hit and miss over the last several boxes I've actually had about
three boxes that I didn't even post because it was just a bunch of early
Jeffersons then I've got a couple of boxes still to post that did have some
pretty cool finds in them but nothing crazy I haven't had a box with more than
one silver or more than one Buffalo in a while and I'm hoping that this box
produces that that being said you guys know the routine I've opened the box
it's definitely circulated nickels it's a little bit too trashed I got a funny
story about this you'll see the rolls are a little bit dirty and they even got
some grass on them because after I open it at the bank when I was walking it
indoors it was raining and a couple of the rolls fell out and when I went to
catch him more rolls found so I had to scoop off the grass throw them back in
the box what a mess so I have to go through this
hunt it wouldn't surprise me if we encounter some grass man it was a mess
maybe it was a good mess because it's gonna lead to something good in the box
who knows enough rambling let's kick off the hunt I'll be checking for Enders
along the way and loop you in if there's something or someone roll two off to a
quick start got our first 40s nickel of the box it's
a 46 Philadelphia roll number four last coin in the roll is a forties nickel and
it's a 1940 Philadelphia at that rolled over 12 gonna have our third 40s nickel
of the box 1947 Denver Road number 15 gonna have our fourth 40s nickel 1940
Philadelphia roll 21 is gonna produce our fifth 40s nickel and it's another
1940 so three from that same year roll 25 our sixth 40s coin and this
one's a trashed 41 roll number 26 and we've got another 40s nickel another
trashed 1941 San Francisco roll 28 you gotta laugh at the grass but I do find
another 41 Philadelphia again not in great shape but we'll take it
roll number 35 we're gonna have another 40s nickel here this one's a 48 Denver
same roll guys we got a 1950 sitting here so I'm gonna preface this with what
I always say when I pull a 39 or 50 I recently found a 39 d the last nickel I
need to find on my own for my Jefferson nickel set now I've got the whole set
because I've been donated a 50 d but I've never pulled a 50 d can this 1950
in pretty decent shape pretty decent shape can it be a 50 d without a 50 d we
got a 50 d a 1950 d and it is in decent shape I have found a 1950 D in
circulation I have now found every Jefferson nickel there is to find in
circulation it looks pretty good a little bit of dirt on it but you just
ignore the dirt for a second look how crisp and God We Trust is he's
even got some detail in his hair still the fields don't look too bad
this one might have been in someone's collection for a while and look at that
RIM that's a nice tight rim too in 1950 D definitely a key date let's go ahead
and grab the red book and look at the mintage I think it's 2.6 million but I
could be off let's take a look all right everyone 1950 Deon Nichols I
was right two point six three million just over EMS sixty is $14 I don't think
it's MS sixty man it's pretty nice though it is pretty nice yeah it's
pretty nice it might be a you 55 I could maybe squeeze a fifty eight out of it's
got some toning a little bit of dirt on Liberty but that's just a little bit of
dirt and toning at the end of the day not a lot of scratches some hair detail
pretty good rim pretty good lettering overall it's not in bad shape I don't
think it's a mess 60 but it's definitely definitely a good definitely a good pull
my first one's in great shape a little bit of scratches like I said that's why
it's not gonna get an MS grade I don't think but still a you 55 I would say all
day I'd be surprised if it dropped below a you 50 and I wouldn't be surprised and
it got an au 58 grade so I will take that I'm happy what a great coin one of
the best ones you can pull other than a variety for the Jefferson nickel set
roll 39 got another 40 s nickel and this one looks pretty good too yeah not too
bad looking in 1940 Denver more grass but more importantly rule 41 and we've
got some colors here so I figured I would open this with you guys take a
look at this copper edged one and it's just the 2004 D so not the double die
obverse 2004 P but interesting toning on the edge kind of odd
it's really just gunky and dirty and then we've got possibly a war nickel
here no we've got a burnt Buffalo I
might have a D mint mark let me let's look at this under the scope put it
under the scope here well see if there's a mint mark first hmm it's pretty
damaged down there probably just damage and then the front
yeah that's worn slick I don't think nigga dating will help
this because it's toned dark like this and if I nigga date it it'll be silvery
right where it's nigga dated and it will stand out worse let me go wash it with a
little warm soapy water since it's already pretty toasty anyway and we'll
see what it comes out like all right guys
as expected not much happened to it differently I don't see a mint mark and
you can almost make out a date so the soap water helped but I don't think I
can get a date on this alright guys I'm done filling with this my best guess
based on what I see is that 1925 or 1926 I'm pretty certain it's either one of
those two and it does not have a mint mark that I can tell it's just some
damage right down there so I think it's a 25 or 26 Philadelphia we'll call it
that I have both of those for my set so it's not a big deal and we'll leave it
alone for now rule number 42 I got it first here or maybe a first back-to-back
1940 ones in a roll looks like one is a Philadelphia
and the second one is a Denver so two more forty ones that's five nineteen
forty ones in this box well number forty five guys had laid him out
I found a 1955 D and I always checked the nineteen fifty five D for the over
mintmark D over s there's a number one and a number two variety the number two
you can see the edge of it right here but you don't see any of the s in here
or protruding left of the D on the number one variety you can see the loop
inside of the S and you can see the S coming out from the D as well as on top
so it's the more sought-after variety extra fine is 12 bucks versus ten not a
huge difference but there's a difference so I pulled this one out doesn't look
like it's in bad shape I would say it's at least extra fine and might even be a
you on the front the back looks good too so this might be at least an au type
nickel in my opinion so I went ahead and stuck it under the microscope and let me
show you what I see here's what I see under the microscope in my opinion I
think I see part of the curve inside here and the s up here sticking to the
left protruding to the left now it's also flattened a little bit that D so
you could argue that that's part of the problem but if I flip it upside down I'm
fairly certain it looks like there's part of the ass it could not be I don't
know it it could just be damaged the way that that looks so I'm asking for your
opinion I have looked at hundreds of these nickels I've never had one even
come close that I even considered maybe for a second that it was a D over s but
there's something in there and it really feels like you could see the top of the
S here and it's been flattened here's the picture one more time
got it here you can see it protruding out and the bottom comes out a little
bit too so it's very clearly I mean you could argue that some of that's damaged
obviously mine's a dirtier not as clean it could just be a
damaged D but if that's a push to the side demon that's a dramatic push and
there is something in the middle there hard to tell for sure could this be a
do-over ass will flip it all the way around sure it looks funny to me
sure looks funny I could be seeing things after finding that 1950 diiemma
look sided but man I think I see something inside that D I'm gonna pull
it out for now we'd love to hear your thoughts
could this be in 1955 d / s number one if it is the conditions pretty good in
my opinion still a cool find let's take it up here for now and we'll get back to
the hunt rule 47 surprising enough another 1941 Philadelphia alright
everyone another box of nickels hundred and I will classify this as a pretty
good box we end up with a whopping seven 2009's but they're all Denver I can't
seem to find very many Philadelphia mints but make sense of where my
location is a couple of odd tone coins that I camped another one of those
silver-plated 83s and then kind of odd toned 68s I think it might have been a
proof at one point but you never know I put it to the side we got 13 from the
40s for 1940s 640 ones a 46 47 and a 48 we got 9 in the 50s fine in the box
a 1950 D my first-ever can't get mad at that a 53 a 55 pretty nice shape
possible D / s we'll take that as well we got 4 from 57 and 2 from 58 to go
along with a couple of really nice sixties coins a 62 in really great shape
and a 64 common coin but you don't find them
like this very often so I pulled it out I'll PI hold on to it and then either a
25 or 26 Buffalo can barely read the date under certain lighting and under my
loop but it's a Philadelphia I think it's 25 or 26 so in my opinion
one of my better boxes anytime I can pull a nickel I've never pulled and a
very tough pole along with a possible variety coin a buffalo a couple of nice
coin 709 s and 22 early Jefferson's will take it hopefully you enjoyed this home
with me I know I did if you did I'd appreciate a thumbs up and as always
everyone happy hunting and thanks for watching
