Congrats! I've been working on mine lately and it will likely be the next album that I complete. How did you get a fifth page with dates from 2001-2016P? Mine stops at 2005!

The 1966 and 1967 look like SMS coins... from circulation? I got most of my 1938 - 1964 from circulation (except for the 38S and 50D). Lately I've been breaking up mints sets and proof sets to complete the 1968 - 2004 coins. Last week I started looking for affordable full steps upgrades on ebay: I got the 40, 40D and 41D to start with. Quite a few of my mint set specimens are full steps. |

Congratulations!! That is a great accomplishment... I am still working through a from circulation jefferson set so your find gives me some added motivation to be patient!
Thanks for sharing.

I have found all (except the 1950D) from circulation but I leave the mint set coins I bought in the album since they are truly "uncirculated". While some are hazed and even have multiple hits which look worse than some I have found in boxes (like the 1971 which the picture doesn't show) who am I to argue with the mint or TPG's  |

Congrats! I remember back when I was a teen and finished my first set from rolls. I ended up giving it to my cousin for a birthday present. My second set (again, completed as a teen) I gave to my father, which ended up as him becoming a collector himself. However, my third set I've kept for myself. I then went on to collect buffaloes (missing 3). Then Libertys (missing 2). Now the Shields (missing exactly half). |

Wow, congratulations! Are you completely done or will you still keep looking and swap out better looking nickels or just tuck this away as is? Motivating me to keep trying to fill my albums with coin hunting instead of buying the missing pieces from ebay... |

1938-S looks very nice. 1950-D is the one to have.
