Coin Roll Hunting Part 2

I tried my luck again with coin rolls, this time with 5 nickel rolls I got from the bank. There is a little bit of variety in nickels rolls, thanks to a recent change in design. I will look out for the Westward Journey nickels that were minted in 2004 and 2005. In these rolls, you can usually find some older dates in decent condition.

Lets see what was inside the rolls:

　

I was able to find 12 Westward Journey nickels in all 4 varieties:

6 Ocean in View!

3 Louisiana Purchase/Peace Medal

2 Keelboat

1 American Bison (Buffalo)

Personally I enjoy finding the buffalo coins the best, because series pays homage not only to Lewis ands Clark, but to the original buffalo nickel, minted from 1913 to 1938.

The coins are not particularly valuable beyond 5 cents, as they were minted in 2004 and 2005, but the coin roll hunter searches for variety in the rolls.

As for the older coins, I was able to find:

2 from 1959

1 from 1957

1 from 1956

The 1956 was the oldest coin I found in the rolls. One of the coins from 1959 has a lot of luster and looked as if it came out of a mint or proof set, so I consider that one a good find.

As with the penny rolls, this is a very small percentage of the actual amount of coins in circulation, but just wanted to show the variety that is able to be found in a handful of rolls.
