My first Key Date ?

First off I’d like to thank Chase Bank for the supply of nickels I receive daily, the awesome tellers that know exactly what I want, and loomis for this find.
I have quite a few nickels under the 20mil minted mark so There are only a few Jefferson nickels that I would consider really rare,( under the 5million mark) and this is definitely one of them! 1950 Denver comming in at only 2.6 Million minted! So happy right now. Checklist goes from 11 to 10 and I feel I already did the impossible!
Probably going to keep that wrapper and frame it! Lol

Great work.

 

Great find! They are out there. Found a 24-d Lincoln a few days ago.

 

always great to know tellers !!

 

Great Find... can't beat paying a nickel for one worth at least $6 or more!!!

 

Persistence pays! Great find.

 

Haha! Awesome, Matthew; congrats!

Aside from ToughCoins' excellent and true points above, I'm glad to see you're still searching for coins to finish the set instead of buying them. Anyone can put together or simply buy such a set with modest money in their pocket, but making the investment in both effort and time to do so at face is a dying art form. Once completed there isn't a doubt in my mind that it's something you'll always treasure, and that, my friend, is the type of "value" all collectors should strive for.

Kudos to you, sir!

 

I have searched many rolls of nickels when my kids were younger trying to put together a full set with them. I never found the 50-D so ended up buying one, putting it in a 2X2 and stapling it to the paper sheet in the blue Whitman folder because it was uncirculated. I just couldn't bring myself to putting it in the hole in that condition.

Great find. I am amazed you found one roll searching.

 

Thank you! I got it in my 2nd batch of $20 worth of rolls. Luckily my bank teller allows me to exchange nickel rolls for new ones out the box. I have had really good luck at the bank. 1 roll and I pulled three 1941’s . Common coin but old indeed. I personally keep anything before 1960. I’ve also put together 3 sets of the 1960s&1970s decades. Those dang 1960 philly are hard to come by. I figure they might help some novice coin collector in the future, if there are any. Being young and back into collecting has made me realize just how scarce the hobby is for my generation and younger ones.

 

Keep up the good work. Do you have any coin clubs in your area that you could join?

 

I’m not sure. I live in probably the most heavily populated county in the country so I should really start looking for them. I’ve been searching coin shows around my way but they all fall on a weekend when I’m working quadruple shifts. Lol

 

LOL! I wouldn’t have minded if it were flashy and nice either! Right now I have a handful of coins in that album that might grade near AU, but either way they were found in coin rolls. As long as the date and mint mark are legible they will fill a hole until something better comes along. Even if it were almost a BU I’d slap it right in its spot and watch it tone!!!

 

Dude! I’ve been looking at the price range for this particular set ‘38-‘61 and people want a lot of money for full sets, even in very circulated conditions. Lol. 50D might be the rarest but there are quite a few others right behind it, plus what? 11 Silver War nickels? Either way I had no idea how much these sets were going for when I first punched in my earlier finds. Actually I had them in 2x2’s in my trapper keeper. Then I found the 1938 and 1939 plain in the same hunt and said I had to but the Whitman folders now!!!!

 

6$??? This babies priceless now! Once I complete this set (10 more to go) I will have every business strike Jefferson Nickel from 1938-2017!!! (Still haven’t run across any 2018s) and I even have like 6 of the 2009’s.

 

I don’t personally know him but have made a good relationship with him and another chick that works behind the glass! The male once gave me an extra roll and I returned it (after I searched it). Lol he didn’t even know or suspect it, but since then they trust me enough to take my rolls back knowing there are 40nickels in each without questioning it.

 

Perhaps I've simply misunderstood, but I want to be clear there was nothing negative about my earlier post, especially when taken in context. I think what you're doing is both fantastic and sets a fine example for others.

If you've an account there, they'll simply ding it if anything your turn in is short, or is at least how into used to work. Still, it sounds like you're fortunate enough to have a good relationship with this bank. Tellers can sometimes come across some good stuff, and if not collectors themselves and/or already keeping an eye out for someone else, it might be worth kissing up a little. Hey, you never know...

 

I didn’t take anything you said as negative!

 

Thanks for clarifying. Just wanted to be sure we're on the same page is all.

 

Found a 1920 a week ago. Thinking 24d is a tuff one. So you lucky devil
