<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marshall, post: 8155135, member: 21705&quot;]I can sort of see nickels as an entry point.When I started collecting, there were still a few Buffalos and War nickels around. And these pocket change finds were not as picked over as the Cents. You could even go to a bank and still get a silver dollar or two. But these were too expensive for an 8 year old working on a $2 allowance which included lunches for the week leaving me with a whole quarter to spend.</p><p><br /></p><p>The huge mint marks on the war nickels and an actual P on a Philadelphia coin that you could find searching your change would certainly be an attractive option.</p><p><br /></p><p>At the time, the biggies in cents were the 55-S and 54 plain. We really hadn&#039;t gotten into the errors like the 55 DD yet. </p><p><br /></p><p>In my area, Ds were plentiful and Plains weren&#039;t too uncommon, but an S mint was a real find.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
