2013 CRH Totals (Pic Heavy)

Hi all! I know it's already more than a week into the new year, but I figured I'd share my 2013 CRH totals with you! I sorted nickels mostly, and that is basically all that is pictured here because I didn't find too much in other coin values (about 50 wheaties in $100, and 5 silver dimes in $1500) I also completed an entire Jefferson nickel collection while doing this. I had started the folder before I started CRH, but I'm POSITIVE that I have found at least one of each of the coins that I already had in my folder.

Here are the totals!

Amount searched: $5,460 (109,200 Nickels)

Finds:

War Nickels: 48
1942-P: 1

AND Because I'm a math nerd, here are some neat facts. (All based on MY findings. Also, the total # out there still is PURELY AN ESTIMATION based on all Jeffersons made because they make up 99% of the nickel population)

The chance of finding a War Nickel is:
1:2,275, or
1 in every 1.138 boxes, or
1 in every 56.9 rolls, or
You have a 0.0439% chance of any given nickel being a war nickel

Based on all Jefferson Nickels minted (Because they're 99% of the nickel polulation) there are roughly
upwards of 25 million war nickels still in circulation

The chance of finding a Buffalo Nickel is:
1:4,964, or
1 in every 2.482 boxes, or
1 in every 124.1 rolls, or
You have a 0.0201% chance of any given nickel being a war nickel

Based on all Jefferson Nickels minted (Because they're 99% of the nickel polulation) there are roughly
upwards of 10 million Buffalo Nickels still in circulation.

There was roughly 58,145,000,000 58 Billion Jefferson Nickels minted.

If you read this far, THANKS! I put a lot of work into this post, though I love doing it.

HH!!!
