Hey, don't forget to check some of those for varieties also - like D/S mint marks. Kids have fun doing this also.

Congrats you got a good one, and a way to spend quality time with the young uns. my LCS calls me up to tell me that my ASE anniversary sets are not worth anything but I should sell them to him. Two times he has called, I won't even talk numbers, what a shyster. The other coin shop, I'll stop inquire about something or another, stop back in a day or two to buy item, and the price has been raised, just on the items I'm interested in. Not to complain, I know everyone wants to make a buck, just get tired of people playing stupid all the time.

That's a great dealer. I'd like to buy older Jefferson nickels at face value without all the hassle from searching through bank rolls.

If possible, I have undersold what I had. I went back yesterday and bought the rest. $44 more of face for a total of $113 face-value. Here's what I got:


38P -- 22

58P-14
58D-72
59P-27
59D-84
Buff (no date) -- 2
V nickel (no date) -- 1
4 rolls BU 60's

As you can see, this was almost like stealing. I brought the 38s and the 39D&S's back, but he told me to keep them. He said whatever I find is mine.

For those who care it was 2,260 nickels total with 1,662 keepers. That means I'm only turning $29.90 back into the bank. Pretty awesome!

The late 50s confused me, as I got many more Ds than Ps. Weird, but welcomed.

SJUHawks, If your still willing to pass some along I think there are 21 on your list I need.
38ps
39ds
40ds
46ds
47d
48s
49ds
50p
51s
52s
53s
54ps
55p
56p
59p

Would be happy to make it worth your while since it's only a dollar five in actual money and you only stated you would pass along the 40's and 50's. I think without the 30's it's 17 coins. Either way congrats on a good deal.

I've only had two requests for hole fillers at face. Let me know if there are any others. I feel the need to pay this forward.

SJUHAWKS ... great story .. thanks for sharing .. I like how you involve your kids with coin collecting .. I do the same with my grandkids ... aside from the coin collecting, it is an opportunity to spend quality time with our little ones.
