<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 91261, member: 4626&quot;]I&#039;ve noticed that too... Philadelphia stuff takes quite a while to get here, and gets overwhelmed by the prevalent Denver minted circulating stuff for at least 10 years or so.&nbsp; I had the hardest time of finding Philadelphia minted pennies until my grandfather who lived in Michigan came over with his penny jar; I was finally able to finish off the last book of pennies!&nbsp; My penny collection is now complete from 1939 to present (with the exception of the 1970S small date).</p><p><br /></p><p>I have heard of the no mint set situation of 1982 from the local coin store today... that would account for it being so hard to find in circualtion, if it was heavily hoarded.&nbsp; Funny thing is, it&#039;s not the least bit rare... nearly 300 million minted... but because so many people hoarded them away when they saw it it&#039;s hard to find just going through nickel rolls.&nbsp; Probably a lot of the ones that did manage to get into circulation got lost or destroyed.&nbsp; I&#039;ll probabaly have to end up buying it from someone, but don&#039;t imagine it will be too pricey.&nbsp; Nice thing about Jefferson nickels is that even the rarest ones aren&#039;t too expensive... I can get a decent 1950D for around $20 or so.&nbsp; (1950D is a perfect example of an issue that although it&#039;s technically rare, it isn&#039;t that hard to find, because so many people saved it.)</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway guess I can get it easily enough, just will end up costing more than 5 cents, lol.&nbsp; I can live with that.&nbsp; Most of the rest non-silver ones should be easy enough to find just checking change and nickel rolls.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
