I wouldn’t draw too many conclusions from one stash of coins. What were the factors determining what you put into it? Are you finding lots of nickels from the ‘50s snd ‘60s? I go through rolls looking for things, and I can make some generalizations based on what I’ve seen, but it’s a pretty small window into what the big picture might be.
Nickels, I don’t do, pennies added up too fast in bulk. I like junk silver and some off the wall stuff, like silver zombie coins or gold notes.
True. But I just thought it odd. Granted it was my jug of current pocket change from the last year or so.
