Message:: [QUOTE="longnine009, post: 3187019, member: 1886"]I was in a Majik Market in 1974 when I just started collecting that year. There were two guys in front of me and when one of them got his change he said  "a war nickel!" And the other one said: "and it's a proof!" The second guy even took a flip out of his wallet to put the nickel in. It was a very depressing spectacle. Why didn't I get that nickel instead of these two Geeks? I didn't even have a flip in my wallet to put a coin in. I doubt that I  went back to  that store (it's an independent now) more than four or five times since 1974. But I went in there last year and got a 1945P war nickel in change. What are odds on that? What are the odds of three people  in line in 1974 all being coin collectors? Enjoy your dime OP. Circulation finds are always a lot of fun.[/QUOTE]
