    Since I'm doing mostly nickles right now, any of you east coast nickle rollers keeping some of the lower mintage stuff and like to trade Denver for Philli? I pull a lot of less than 300K mintage. Could also do <400k of you want some of those I can pull them for you. Of course I get lots of the Denver stuff and only a little Philadelphia. Just for hording a little, want to trade a roll or few?
    For example I get lots of 73D, 74D, 77D but very little 71P, 72P, 75P,
    Also could do more recent 03, Westward-D, 08, 09, 10 D for P
    or 2012 unc. D for P if you find a whole roll
    may be able to do a little S mint too, since I get some of that. like 1970S for instance
    Or what have you... What 'cha like 'dat I got's
    Well, that's just my thought, any one interested?

    I don't have any to trade, but if you're just looking for hole fillers, check your local coin shop. Those later date Jeffersons (1960s/70s and later) can be had in MS grades for very cheap. Bring a sawbuck and start fillin' them holes.

    thank you Lon, but that's not at all what I'm looking for. I'm hording back several rolls of lower, but not scarce, mintage. (Well, I keep the scarce stuff too, but that's not what I'm after here) Mostly mintage less than 300,000. I get some Phili, but way less than Denver and San Fran. so I'm thinking if someone else is doing similar on the east coast, they may have the opposite, lots of P but not to much D or S. So, just wanting to put it out there for trade of rolls of circulation grades. Just to get a better idea, I have already sorted out and held about 60 rolls of these slightly less common, but still in circulation dates.
    Also if there is something that someone is looking for, I can pull it as I'm searching. NOT a 1950-D, (not that scares) but the lower mintage but still out there stuff that you may want to keep in quantity of rolls.
    For instance, want a roll of your birth date? I can pull that out for you. trade at face for face, or some equatable value. Or as I mentioned above, want to balance your hoard of 1970's? trade some D for P
    May want to do a little other denominations too, D for P, but for now, I'm doing a box every week or 2 so LoTTTs of nicks.
    Thanks Again Lon, and good to see your many helpful comments here on CT

    PS, I did this same thing back in 1971 / 1972, and again in 1979 have oh.... 20+ rolls of nicks and 40 of 1c from that era, Not a HUGE value but of course some better, yet circulated grades. Wanted to fill an album about a year ago, and it went pretty fast by going through my old rolls, with only 5 of the hard dates left to fill. (did some trading to fill those)
    Put some away
    for a rainy day.
    You never know
    how they may grow.

    I think you mean 300 million, not 300 thousand.

    uhh, yup. How would you notate that? Would that be... <300M ?
    yes, that's what I meant.
    I know you believe you understand what you think I said I'm just not sure if you realize that what you heard is not what I meant. lol

    300M is 300,000. 300MM is 300,000,000 (million). It's used in accounting I think, with M being the roman numeral. So 300MM literally means 300 thousand thousand.

    Oh so fickle to tickle that nickle, to ripple and trickle and dimple so simple

    any way, MM it is then. So mintage less that 300,000,000 or 300MM

    So K is used in computer lingo when referring to bits and bytes, hertz and the like in binary, hexadecimal, and 10base equivalents. Also used in metric system. One K is one kilo and is one thousand. so 300K is 300,000 or three hundred thousand. The equivalent for a thousand thousand (one million) -or more exactly 1,024 x 1,024- is mega. So, the M would be 300 mega or 300 million in the computer world. Followed by giga (1,024 meg), and tera (1,024 tera). Alas, my screen nic is the combination of the 2 companies I owned in the past, Computer Mentor and Art Of Software, so, the K and M are a geeky-neerdy thingy. and this is WAY more than anyone wanted to know, I'm sure.
    (Now I just diddle on my 5 acres and watch my beautiful date palms grow beautiful fruit and take it to farmers markets. and spend too much time on chat boards :) )

    But for real. any one want to trade some D for some P mint? I would especially like to do some of those 1970's years or 2008, 2010, 2011 as trade. Fairly easy to find in circulation, I'd like a roll or 2 of each to lay away for who know what day.

    Couldn't you also say 300,000M ? Does that also mean 300 million? Some abbreviations are confusing, and I don't know what half of them mean lol

    I suppose you could say that, but I've never seen it done. Seems an odd way to write it.
