<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rodeoclown, post: 1340456, member: 34005&quot;]The only thing I can find in reference to the hoarding is collectors hoarded them, not your average Joe Schmo hoarding nickels. As example, Wikipedia says: &quot;While some argue that the 1950-D nickel is readily available (because collectors hoarded them due to the announced low mintage), the 1950-D still commands relatively significant prices, especially if highly graded by a reputable grading service&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>I just don&#039;t buy most middle to lower income families in 1950 (even if they were aware of the low mintage numbers) hoarding nickels, when a nickel was actually worth a whole lot more and could buy a whole lot more than nowadays. I mean, the average median income in 1950 is reported to be around $3000 a year. I can accept collectors certainly hoarded nickels, but not Joe down the street who&#039;s trying to make ends meet. I mean there might have been some exceptions to the hoarding by regular folks but probably not as wide scaled.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
