So I don't do a lot of nickel boxes, but do grab one once in awhile. Like most everyone else, I look for war nickels and buffalo's. Nothing much to see on that front, as I found 1 buffalo, and 2 war nickels. (I did find a couple of '38's too, so I put them in my book.) What I noticed throughout the box was some "new" looking old nickels. Some of the edges actually seem "sharp. With a loupe, it is easy to see the steps, and most I can find no scratches or any sign of wear. As my wife said, they look brand new. I found 13 in all, and took a few close-ups. They range in age from 1952-1972. Any thoughts? Am I just imagining things here? Any input is appreciated.

As a former Jefferson nickel collector, His Majesty would consider those as mint fresh! Congrats on some nice finds. Perhaps you should try some additional nickel boxes to see if more of them are to be recovered! :D:D
