Roll-searchers, post your results!

Nickels have been great to me this year too. I'm not sure what my stats are though. I do hope to hit it big with the 7 boxes of nickels I ordered for next week.

It's all good. Something seemed "off" with your post.

 

I've got to add up my totals for searched coins... been so focused on finding that I haven't updated them recently. I'll be doing my July 31st update soon.

 

Does anyone know what the hardest Jefferson nickels to find in circulation are?

 

1938-D/S, 1939-D/S, 1950-D

 

My top 10 All-time hardest to find based on my personal searching through the years. (Note that I'm on the West Coast):

1. 1950-D
2. 1939-D
3. 1938-S
4. 1943-D
5. 1955
6. 1938-D
7. 1939-S
8. 1950
9. 1951-S
10. 1949-S

 

Thanks. Do you know if any wartime years are on that list?

 

Thanks

 

You're welcome.

 

Not quite. I found my 50-D a year or so ago. Posted a photo of it in this thread.

I'm missing: 1938-S, 1939-S, 1942-S, 1943-D, 1944-D, 1944-S, 1945-D

Haven't filled a Jefferson slot in a good long while.

 

Interesting! If we combined our finds, we would only be missing the 1938-S and the 1943-D!

 

I will be filling lots of slots because I never put any in slots but rather a big box filled with 100s of old nickels I have found roll hunting.

 

I found a 1950 d a nd threw it right into the box. I did not realise it was a key date. When I get around to it I will have my 38 d and 50 d ready to go into the book. I'm not sure if I found any of the other dates during my career. When I first started I did not know any of the key dates in the Jefferson nickel series and just collected them in a nickel box. Now I have a big mess I have to sort due to my lack of organization when I first started.

 

I could throw my 1943 d into the pot and we would only be missing the 1938 s !

 

Lucky you!!! I'm fairly organized. Usually the 40,41,46,54D,56D,57D,58D, and 59D coins go in a jar... the rest into rolls or tubes. Eventually I do empty out the jar and roll those more common ones.

 

Now we gotta find someone who has found that 38-S!

 

Then we'll have a full set!

 

Better yet. I'll find one in my search next week and then it will be between the three of us.(;

 

my set is full and has many that are upgraded, so that now pretty much everything 60's forward is at least AU with most Bu. Still lots of ex-fine in the early years, and a very few fine, so I'm still on the lookout for ones that will bump me up a few grade points.
all have been found in circulation.

PS, I did pick up a second album not long ago. I do like that "yes, filled one" feeling. Its fun!

 

50 rolls today, only 14 Pre-60s but one of them filled a hole. This 1945-P which literally looks like it was through the war! I'm now down to needing the 38-S, 39-D, 43-D, 50-D, and 55 Philly to complete my set out of CRH!
