1950 D found CRH

Cool! Were there a lot of other pre-60s, or was it a "normal" box with say 15-20 of them?

I'm not sure, I just toss them into my mason jars unless I can fill a spot in the book. I have 2 mason jars of 60-63 1 jar of 50s 3/4 a jar of 40s and about 40 39 and 38s

 

No, I mean specifically the rolls where you found the 50-D. Was it in a full box, a part of a box, or just a few rolls that you got that day?

 

it was a full box of 50 rolls

 

Cool... reason I was asking is because I got an EF 38-D, EF 38-S, and my AU 39-D out of 2 Loomis boxes which contained a total of 207 pre-60s.

 

For some reason when I saw this post I was expecting a 1950D wheatie

 

Nope... just these things... Found this one almost 30 years ago...

 

I know when I first started I found a 1950. I didn't write down the mint mark though and I haven't been able to find the exact coin. Hopefully it was a 50D

 

Very likely it is a Philly. Both are hard to find, but this coin is extremely hard to find because it was also widely hoarded.

 

I have 2 rolls of 09-D. But they're Loomis wrapped so apparently they're not worth anything (as opposed to mint wrapped).
Oh well. More for my nickel jar...

 

It doesn't matter who wrapped them. Fed/LOOMIS/etc... The last "bid" price I saw on them from the CDN was $13.

 

Never mind then, not for the nickel jar

Too bad they're not 09-P, I've heard those go for quite a bit more

 

Yes, those are $60 per roll!

 

Nice Find! Kudos!!!

I did notice some fingerprints on both sides though, yours or did you find it that way? I would wear gloves when handling a nice specimen like that, every day that goes by they are getting harder to find in that condition.

 

Lol, same here, I think @Facevalue 's avatar threw me off.

 

Yup. That was popped out of a album like, a week ago.

 

Given how he's handling it properly (by the edges) in the photo, I have to assume he found it that way.

 

As was this.

 

LOL... I guess I wasn't looking at his avatar when he posted... just that beautiful 50-D nickel!

 

Nice coin, nice find...but certainly not rare.
