When the weather is too crappy to detect, I CRH if I have nothing else to do. I particularly like nickels because I come across a fair amount of war nickels and the occasional Buffalo. I hit my bank today at a branch I never go to because it was in the area I was shopping at and I had some checks from Christmas to deposit into the kids' accounts. I asked the teller if she had any nickels and she handed me over $10 worth of hand rolls. Two of the wrappers looked older but I didn't think much of it at the time. I just got done going through the nickels I got today and those two old rolls turned out to be quite nice! The first roll had 9 Buffalo's and 27 pre-1960 nickels. The second roll had 13 Buffalo's and 24 pre-1960 nickels. Most Jefferson's aren't that collectible but I do keep nice examples of pre-1960 coins and interesting varieties. There was a nicely toned AU 1951-D in there that will replace the worn one I have in my album. I also found a decent 1941 Large S. The Buffalo's consisted of a few decent dates. Unfortunately, the best date (1913-D) isn't worth anything because it looks like someone hit it with acid to pull the date off of it. There's also a slicked Type 1. I've attached a picture of the better dates I found. I think I might drive back there tomorrow and see if they have any more old rolls!
