Nickel Hunt #4 - The Bank Robbed ME! - Key dates found.

This is my fourth nickel hunt and 5th box. I continue my quest to search 10 boxes before I start populating new albums. I search for old Shield and V nickels, Buffalo, Silver War Nickels, Blazers, Varieties and errors. In the episode the bank shorts me a little bit.

Not too bad. Pretty nice getting both 1938 and 1939,'s. Now to find them with mint marks! Best of luck in your next hunt!

The ‘59 May be a “Black Beauty.”

I agree, it's just not a "beauty".

Will you please explain your theories on metal content and how the coins are separated.

[@mattmanretires66]

The coins are first mechanically separated by size to determine denomination. Between the hopper and the rolling machine should be a series of filters. The first and most oviouse is a magnet to remove any iron and nickel ie. washers, tokens, foreign (USA nickels are 75% copper so not magnetic). Other filters could include checking the weight or for holes.
