[QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 25376966, member: 10461"]I found this to be the case back when I used to hunt rolls from the bank. There are still finds to be made in nickels, whereas you don't get much in the dimes and quarters. Half dollars are good hunting, but seldom available. The reason for the slimmer pickings in dimes and quarters is pretty simple: people know- and have known for a long time- to save the silver ones. So much fewer of those are still in the wild. But that little bit of silver (35%) in Wartime 1942-45 nickels gets overlooked. No surprise you haven't found a 1939-D or 1950-D. Particularly the 1950-D, as those were hoarded early on, not long after they were struck. In fact, it is hard to find a circulated example for that reason. Still, with you finding stuff like high grade early Buffaloes, you likely have better odds of getting a 1939-D or something like that, I guess.[/QUOTE]
