    I had 3 boxes in a row in which I found some good stuff like Indian heads, war Nickels from 42-45, couple of 1938’s and 40’s & 50’s. I was able to fill some holes or upgrade what I had. After the first box I went back to the same bank branch hoping for lightning to strike again. When I got lucky the second time I went back again. I even found an Indian head on an end roll ( posted previously) which never happened before. I felt like I was on a roll (should have hit the Hard Rock Casino- but I’m not a gambler). Of course I went back to the same branch a fourth and fifth time. Plodding through these last 2 boxes there were a lot of 2018’s in one box and the last one was just a lot of 70’s thru 90’s until I hit on this little gem mixed in. This 1950d was literally the only coin I pulled from that last box...you just never know!!

    Very good finds indeed.
    The 1950 comes nice.
    Did you find some San Fran. coins from the thirties?

    Considering that it came from a roll, that 50-D is really nice.

    Hi, Paul! I was hesitant to consider FS because it looks like there might be a small flaw just above the "TI". Am I just seeing things?

    I saw them as well and think they would definitely preclude a 6FS designation from NGC, but I think the coin is solid for NGC 5FS or PCGS FS designation.

    That 50-D is nice looking. Almost full steps except for those two small marks. Sounds like you had fun searching those rolls. Great finds too.

    No...I found two 1938 ( Prior to this I had none of the 38). Still searching for 38d and s. Also for 39s.
