<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chascat, post: 2422581, member: 76792&quot;]A couple of days ago I Googled Famous coin hoards. The 50-D was in the article by N G C.&nbsp; I started collecting in 1963 and then, a 50-D 5c sold in unc. for around $40.&nbsp; That kind of money for me was only a dream.&nbsp; Only a tiny fraction of the original mintage ever saw the light of day.&nbsp; When the 2.2 million or so coins were minted the bulk of them were shipped to a Fed Res. Bank.&nbsp; I believe it was Kansas City...anyway, a guy bought a million coins when they were finally discovered in the 70s.&nbsp; So many coins were sold that they became one of the most common of the early Jeffersons.&nbsp; The price droped to around $6 a coin or less.&nbsp; Now they have recovered a little but still are one of the most collected but very common of the early Jeffersons.&nbsp; For many of the other dates those kind of numbers were never hoarded so most dates have fewer numbers of unc, coins which exist today.&nbsp; This is why a circulated 50-d nickel is almost never seen in a collection.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
