Why does everyone always suggest getting customer wrapped rolls? When I was an active hunter, that was all I had. I seldom saw a machine roll back then and I had never seen a box until after joining CCF. |

I am the luckiest one to have completed a set of circulated Jefferson nickels within 1 month and less than 50 boxes searched. |

I gave up counting how many boxes I had searched when I was actively coin roll hunting, I found the 1950 proof but never found the 1950 d. What are the odds of that lol?

This thread is encouraging since I am about to start nickel coins from Liberty to Jefferson. I didn't plan on it but when we inheretid a nice Buffalo collection from my father in law I decided to go a head, starting with Liberties (I already have 1912 s & d)!

I've gone through over (estimated) 600,000 nickels in the past 10 years and still haven't found a 1950 D.

Ironically, I have lots of extra 1940s and 1950s nickels, but lack many of the 1986-2000 nickels (when I took a vacation from collecting).

Even as a kid in the late 50s I never found a '50D. The '39D showed up every so often, and warnicks were frequenty found close to new!

14 boxes searched for 2015. 93% done with many nice coins filling the spots. 12 more to go and getting down to the harder/hardest ones to find. It'll be interesting how far I can get by year's end. But it wont stop there. Curious to see how many boxes it'll take.
