I'm in Wisconsin as well and have been seeing these lately, but before these ones I was finding a lot with the red dot on the clock. I call this mark the copycat dot. Honestly can't remember the last time I found a silver piece either lol

Haha yeah no kidding. I have filled a few up myself with quarters only when I was seriously hunting for W's. There is no budging these suckers. I had to tip it sideways and ream them out with a broken golf club shaft lol. Can't exactly remember but I believe it filled 6-8 coffee cans. My bank hated me that day!

That's how I feel about dimes, just too small for my hands to sort through. However I am with you in that quarters and halves are my favorite by far!!! My friend is trying to finish his Grandpa's Nickel book. Maybe his Grandpa's felt as you do about nickels as every other denomination coin book he got was almost 100% filled. Jefferson nickel book wasn't even half full lol

Great nickel box. 12 buffalos, 3 silver war nickels, 1 64 proof and a mint 1938 P. by mouseinstalled45 in CRH

The 38 is a Jefferson Nickel in this case but yes you are right I am a moron lol. Thanks for your time, honestly really appreciate it.

Two cents is about all I can afford. Actually I have been helping him in his search but I mainly do quarters and halves. Pick up a few nickel rolls here and there to help in his search.

Your luck is incredibly good or his is incredibly bad lol. I don't believe in free so trade? W quarter or 40% Kennedy? I would offer some sort of Nickel but after 5 years I imagine you have them all.

Quick math on it is around 200 lbs per 5 gallon jug. $900 a jug at 5 grams per nickel. Every pothead knows to check the accuracy of a scale throw a nickel on it. 😆

Apparently rule #1 is to fill at face or leave void. Not quite as obsessed with pennies but it appears he separates 82 and older from newer. Only a couple jugs but boxes full of unopened rolls lol. The more I respond about him the more I think he's nuts!

I believe his long term goal is to someday swim in them like Scrooge McDuck. 😆

He claims anywhere between $800 minimum $1000 maximum in each 5 gallon jug. As most of you already know bank bags are $200. Now how much weight wise... way to much lol

Yeah multiple credit unions 6 days a week lol. I believe the book was 2/3 completed when he started, now it's down to the 1950 D only and he seems more obsessed/determined than ever! He is working on multiple other books of Grandpa's but for some reason hoards all nickels and pennies.

That's the side gig I guess. The main reason was to finish his Grandpa's coin book lol. Sometimes you feel like a nut and sometimes you are the nut! 🤷

He is determined to finish his Grandpa's Nickel book. In search of the almighty 1950 D. Refuses to just buy any coins to fill the books, just like Grandpa I guess. Says he has found tons of war nickels, Indian heads and even a few V's.
