how hard is it to find a 39 D or 50 D nickel???

Red Book shows 2009 P&D nickels had only 5-10% of the quantities struck as compared to the other dates in that time period.
I wonder if they are turning out like the Barr $1 bills of the 1963-B series.

 

Sure are. Same thing: hoarding. Eventually, people forget why they're hoarding them and they come onto the market. The only question is when. It's the same story as the 1950-D nickels; identical pattern.

 

I've onlp found two(2) 50d nickels. Never a 39d. Can't see well enough to find or see the others you've found. Keep looking. 50d nickels are out there

 

Guess your glass is half empty

 

Yes found a few. But have yet to find a 2009 dime of any type

 

The odds today finding a 50 D in the wild are better then they ever were! I have found a 39 D never a 50. As for Barr notes I had a hundred or better all star notes.
My dad got them at the bank said hold o to these they are going to be worth some money. Then I discovered girls...and so went the notes... well some 45 /50 years later they are only wortn what 3x face.

 

Some of the older collectors made it a point of honor never to buy any coin. If he got everything that you saw from change, rolls and piggy banks he was happy. If you want to pity someone I nominate the "investors" who forked out up to $3000 per roll for bank wrapped rolls of 1950-d nickels. Top dollar per coin these days is $10 and although some folks ask more they are not rarely found for sale just rarely found in change. If you check the sales you will see high grade 1914-d cents competing with high grade 1909-s-vdb coins. In many places the high grade 1914--d is much harder to find.

 

I found a 39 p in a roll of nickels

 

The 50-D was the only one I never found in circulation, on the other hand that was back in the 1970's.

As for the 2009's you don't find them today because they WERE widely hoarded because they were "low mintage". But when you look, the mintage is about the same as the 1959 and those were NOT widely hoarded. Today a roll of Unc 59's cost just a few dollars. So after almost 60 years the 59's are worth just a few times face. How much will the 09's be worth after 60 year with a survival rate in Unc many times higher.
