1938 found in roll search

I have been finding a lot of 38 nickels in roll searches lately, most will grade F or EF but some will grade higher. What do Ya'll think?

I think that nickel sat in a drawer for most of its life. It certainly does not have 70 years' worth of wear.

Very nice find.

I agree - high xf from the picture. If you keep searching, you tend to find quite a few older ones - but don't expect to be getting that quality on a regular basis!!!

This is true, I have found 8-38's in the pass few weeks and none have came close to this one in grade.

Hi Andy,
That is one mighty fine 38p. Congrats!
So far I have only found one 38p in circulation, but not as nice as yours.

I think because the way our economy is right now there are a lot of people needing money. So they are getting rid of some rolls or jars of coins they have been saving, roll searching should be very good in some parts of the country right now.
