5 Rolls of Nickels CRH

I search nickels often and I've found V or Liberty nickels, Buffalo and war nickels so your finds were good but not uncommon. I'm missing a 39D and 50D having a complete set found in circulation. If I were more diligent I'm sure I'd have them by now. I have a roll of BU's from the 50's and 60's also. I'm still looking for a Henning, and die clash examples as I've found neither.

I'd love to someday take the finds of the users and tally them altogether... The 39-D does seem to show up every so often based on what I've read here and in other forums... the 50-D though is another story. I'm guestimating the 50-D is about 3-4 times as hard to find as the 39-D based on what I've seen... If anyone else has any data, please let me know...

 

Last year I found a 50d and 15s in a box of looms rolls. So they are out there. I'm under the belief of volume. The more you search the more you find. I lack the 39d for a complete circulation set.

Those are awesome finds, Mike! Congrats!

I'm in total agreement with you that it's volume that brings you the best chance... I've searched around 125,000 nickels in 7+ months. Of course, when you also happen to hit a good batch from a source, go back and get as many of those kind of rolls and/or boxes as possible. This has worked extremely well for me, especially in my nickel CRH as the two coins in my avatar (38-S and 39-D) would attest. As for my circulation set, I only lack the 50-D and 43-D.
