Exact opposite problem here in California. All Ds, no Ps. I wrote it here or somewhere else before, Ps are almost as rare as circulation Ss here.

 

I'm really enjoying this thread and seeing all the coins you're finding. Are you also looking for die chips? I've noticed when searching Jeff's I find a lot of die chips on the rev. from 2015-2018. Mostly to the left of Monticello and below in the lettering. Lots of chips in O's in Monticello. Looking forward to seeing the grand tally.

 

Lol joking or not I appreciate the kind offer

 

Absolutely true here in Texas. Its like finding a V Nickel if you can find a 2009P

 

Yeah I pull all good size die chips. They are somewhat common for the small die chips. So I try to pull the BIG CHUNK ones. They are 99.9% Philadelphia. If I find a Denver die chip I always keep it even if it is small die chip as Denver's quality control is better and is a lot harder to find die chips with Denver's nickels.

 

So at the end of every Saturday I look forward to putting away all my finds for the week. And as you can tell I got some work to do! I will post the updated Master List shortly!

 

Here is the Master List updated with the results of the last 10 boxes from previous Saturday for those who are interested in the numbers like me

Not going to lie i am still surprised we haven't hit any of the top 5 dates yet. 1938D/S,1939D/S or the 50D. But we shall see what these boxes bring in the future!

Box 35


Nice box all around. Can't go wrong with a Buffalo and two silvers!

1-Buffalo 1935D
2-Silvers 1943S and 1945D
1-Error 2005 Philadelphia Big die chip
2-AU/BU 1959D and 1964D
8-Common 40s
6-Common 50s
11-2009D

 

please recheck your sources.

San Fran closed in 1956.

Otherwise there wouldn't be any 1955 S cents or dimes

 

I seem to remember that the San Francisco mint (and others like West Point) coined for the other mints mandated quotas. Die sets weren’t produced there but production occurred.

 

Is that 1959D a DDO? Just a little distant and out of focus to tell but the IGWT seeming to give a broader reflection in the troughs of the letters. Could be just glare.

 

Good catch. I will double back and check it under the scope to confirm.

 

Box 36


Well well well ..... Box with nothing but the usual common finds and a 42D. But we will keep on hunting!

1-1942D Trashy condition
1-1939 Philadelphia
4-AU/BU 1963,1976D,1978,and 1988D
6-Common 40s
12-Common 50s
5-2009D

 

This master list. I gotta see this

 

I suppose it's just different perspective or viewpoint, but I cannot tell you in words how ecstatic I would be to find a 1939 Philadelphia. Well, I guess any year Philadelphia. Against all odds (I'm sure I should be diagnosed with ADD), I am enjoying this post immensely. Thank you for your time and efforts!

 

I appreciate the kind words. It takes a lot of devoted hours a week to keep up with the thread. Getting my boxes every week from a number of banks. About 10-12 boxes a week,taking photos and editing them as well. Dumping my change at my credit union a few times a week. I calculate about 35-40 hours a week go into this wonderful hobby I enjoy. Not including my full time job as well!

But i have been doing this for years and enjoy every minute of the process. I understand not everyone has the time like me (I'm single,no kids,etc) but I do see myself pulling this off

 

I finished the last roll of my 2 case education on nickels. Finally got a buffalo.

Now, i am collapsing the collection to get rid of the chaf. Next comes the newest numismatic adventure....

I will revisit the thread daily with great memories.

Per Gardaworld Armored Services.

All coins come in bags to brinks, et al.. They are then opened an rolled. My rolls come from Orlando.

More importatly, my activities have no affect on the quality of my draw. I have been woried during dry spells.

 

Box 37


BOOM!!!... And just like that a 1950D shows up! I was just saying I can't believe we haven't got any of the 5 key dates yet. Well here it is! Box was still kinda slim for my standards but can't go wrong with a key Jefferson
