Your speculation is pretty much right. I have built 3 complete Jefferson nickel albums from CRH finds. It was limited by the number of 1950 D...
Maybe you’ll make change more often? You never know what you might find.
I recall when I CRHed that 1994 was a year where the die was over polished and the nose blended with the field. This looks like one but it has...
Nice finds. Yet the Henning remains the rarest find. And most valuable. Fun bag!!

Good question - here is what I found: https://www.usacoinbook.com/coin-melt-values/ I recall I read an article explaining why the mint had to...
