'50D and 1919D Nickels in search bag.

I already posted the 1944 Henning nickel I found in this bag 5000+ nickels I bought (at face) from a coin dealer that was retiring. Digging deeper I also found a 1950D Jefferson and a 1919D buffalo. I also found a "why would someone do this?" nickel (see photo at end).



Now why would someone do this? Not trying to bring out a date for sure!

If that was an accident then I feel sorry if someone was collecting that coin, But if someone did that damage on purpose, then I hope when that person is walking to his/her car or grocery store,ect, I hope a large bird will fly slowly over that person and do a very large poop on his/her head....Oh Yeah...They certainly deserve that. To damage an Indian head nickel like that....on purpose, makes me want to throw up.

 

Nice finds. Yet the Henning remains the rarest find. And most valuable.

Fun bag!!

 

I agree.

 

To find a circulated 1950 D Jefferson is quite rare. I may be wrong but I do think that a very large proportion of the 1950 D Jefferson nickels minted were hoarded in mint state when they were released.
Initial speculation drove prices for uncirculated rolls many times higher than they have ever been valued since.
I read a story once that the collectors were aware of the low mintage very early on and it drove the prices sky high. Many of the big spenders lost a lot of money when the dust settled.

I mean it, if you tried to build a circulated set of Jefferson business strikes with serious, aggressive roll searching, you may never find a 50D and would probably find a 39D a bit easier. It would probably be the last hole to fill. Great find!

 

Your speculation is pretty much right. I have built 3 complete Jefferson nickel albums from CRH finds. It was limited by the number of 1950 D nickels I found in the wild. 2 were uncirculated with barely any evidence of circulation. Liberated specimens from some deceased collectors collection. The third was a nicely circulated specimen. In my experience it is harder to find specimens that live in the wild their whole lives.

 

Getting close to a ton of nickels searched. Never found a 50D. One 39D while on a trip to Pittsburgh. Everything else at least EF from CRH. https://www.cointalk.com/threads/1939-d-5c-crh.325828/

 

Probably some kid thinking the best and discovering that it was a mistake.

 

In the same batch of nickels, I found three '39Ds. This bag was a bonanza for me, and I filled three coin books '38 through '59 (except for the war nickels).

 

Nice Magic Man!! Fun for sure!!

 

Aaaaahhhhh.....Hate to see kids crying

 

NOTICE
I just got the email results from my 18 coin submission from ANACS that the representative told me at the coin show that ANACS would grade and label for me.
Although "our" 1944 no P Henning no hole in leg of R are authentic "Hennings", I see they are saying it has been labled in my email as simply NOT GENUINE.
Now, I hope it still arrives in a slab but I must say, ALL 18 coins I submitted are returning with super disappointing results.
I have had issue with them every time I sent coins along with the ANACS rep because I think they have been quite amateur in grading my coins.
Don't send your nickel to ANACS. I will follow up with what comes via UPS in the next few days.

 

Sounds good, for us anyways. Sorry that you are having a bad experience.
I only have 3 Nickels graded by ANACS and I'm surprisedly happy with the grades. I have not however, dealt with them personally. I just buy graded coins. I save the headaches to you all.

 

In my experience with nickels and ANACS, the Jeffersons came home graded at or on the generous side but maybe 20 plus Buffalo nickels I sent in would have faired better in the sites of William F Cody.



I don't know what holder if any my Henning will show up in tomorrow. body bag, actual ANACS holder or just the plastic 2.5x2.5 it was sent in.
It does have a verify number though. https://portal.anacs.com/Verify/CertVerification.aspx?cert=5229594

I sure hope for my money they put it in a holder. Of course it is "Not Genuine" but it is a genuine Henning and is mentioned in the Red Book. Which is what I was assured is all that was needed for it to get attributed.

 

Receiving a "not genuine" instead of a "Henning" is very upsetting. Since coins get labels with "first day of issue" when they really just come from the Mints stockpile, you would think that a well-known Henning would get the appropriate label. Life just sucks sometimes!

 

My Henning came back in the same 2.5x2.5 plastic flip it went to ANACS in but it has even split at the bottom enough for the edge of my nickel to "peek" out the bottom.
Hey, I paid for a holder, they could have labeled it as such and holdered it anyway.
I am through with ANACS.
My beautiful Buffalo nickels came home, insulted by lowball grades of almost all AU58's.
I may cover the labels and take them to our coin club meeting next week.

There are some experts there on grading and they are tough graders.
We will play guess the grade.
I'm no idiot either, except for sending these to ANACS.

I have a lot of say on whether ANACS comes back next year to our coin show.
I think we would be better off renting out the table to a dealer.
I have to let it go, right after I post a BBB complaint for credit on one coin by refund. Hey, it's all over now but never again.



You can see it is split at the bottom and there are a couple cracks in the holder. Crazy! Lucky the nickel sustained no damage.

 

The Garden State Numismatic association is having a joint show with the Trenton Coin Club on Sept. 30th at the Hamilton Library. ANACS will have a table there, but now I am having second thoughts about bringing my coins for authentication. Especially because one of the is my Henning nickel.

 

Well, Don't take the Henning, that's for sure unless you want it looking loke mine shown above. It takes 5 or 6 weeks turnaround but you save on shipping and insurance to ANACS. You still pay to have them returned. I also wasted 60 bucks on that restoration or conservation fee. I don't think they would have tried even if they noticed I paid. There are a couple coins they could have removed a little thin layer of verdigris on or whatever that is on my 1913 TY 2 Buffalo on the motto.
NEVER again for me.

 

ICG will slab your Henning and put that magic word on the label.
Slabbed ones are getting $150 plus on eBay but then so are non slabbed.
