<p>[QUOTE="Kevin Mader, post: 4104963, member: 106826"][USER=110230]@CoinCollector76[/USER] You describe a common event. Many folks only collect the older coinage. I did for a long time, but then I learned about variety collecting which broadened the search...and slowed down the process. Examining each coin for collectability takes some extra time, but it made CRH more fruitful for me (I was mainly searching cents for wheatbacks). Starting with 1960 moving forward, there are a ton of 60s DDOs and DDRs along with a fair share of RPMs. And given that many of these latter date coins are 'newer', they are still in great shape to pick up some higher grade specimens. Even the dreaded 1964 and 1964D...several varieties to hunt for in those dates/mm. So don't ignore the 'shiny nickels' - they might be more collectible and more valuable than the Wartime and semikey Jeffersons. My advice is to create a full list of what you might be interested in and adjust that depending on what you find (expand/contract). Knowing what to look for will help you spot that pocket find!! Good luck on the hunt!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
