Collection Dumps Chronicled - Please Also Post Yours!

Awesome finds tencentpenny!

Awesome haul pound_foolish!

And the 50s!

You can see the unfortunate corrosion on the reverse of the 50D in the mm area. I'll get a better close up but it's beyond a doubt a Denver minted coin. Easier to see under the scope.

A number of these coins have an orange cast in photos due to lighting but there is also a tendency toward orange/yellow toning and I'm wondering it's due to how they were stored as a collection.

E&V, great suggestion. Worth a shot.

The absolute craziest factoid in our overall nickel hunts?

TWO 39D this past summer

TWO 50D in about 2 WEEKS

and ZERO 44D

The stats make no sense to me and as a scientist who deals with bioinformatics on a daily basis, I've come to the conclusion that chaos reigns supreme! &

I visited the same bank two days ago and picked up $60 in CWR. It's in a slightly less suburban area farther west of my usual banks and as luck would have, those 30 rolls contained another collection dump. I will post up photos soon but there were among these rolls 3 V nickels including an 1883 no cents and an 1884, three Buffalos, three proofs, so many BU mid 60s to early 70s, and every non-silver 1938-1959 Jefferson except 1950 P, 1950 D. Only two war nicks - 1943 P and 1944 P which means we STILL have not found the elusive 1944 D for our primary book but we eclipsed 280 finds in 30 rolls.with upgrades for primary and secondary albums and the 1938 D and S we needed for the secondary album. Gonna have to expand our catchment area to get these more often!

Awesome finds, pound_foolish!
