Nothing extraordinary here, but for those who wonder why we roll hunt...I can't get a better pic of the 1929 but I need to look a bit closer as I think it may a WDDR-001. 1 reverse doubled die.
Anytime I get a nickel dated before 1935 my little money loving heart skips a beat. My only buff this week was dateless.
No Buffalo nickels, but I did get a 50-D in change last week, which surprised me. Nickels are a great set to collect, because you can find pretty much any date in bank rolls. Besides the 50-D, I have also found 38 and 39 D and S. Its mostly the silver war nickels that elude you, but you can buy whole sets of those on EBay cheaply.
The '39-D has a lower mintage but more of them were circulated. I believe I have found 7-8 of them, only two '50-Ds
Jeff nickels did not change for a long time, so there is nothing visually notable about them, like wheat cents, or silver coins. Aside from the newer issues, the only visually different ones were the war nickels with their big mint marks. They also blacken a lot in circulation and stand out that way too. I just wish I had more time, because nickels can be collected cheaply.
For me Jefferson nickels are tough to find errors on. The simplicity of the design seems to have left for quite a die life. They certainly stand the test of time as it is still possible to put together a set relatively cheap and a lot from circulation to this day.
