I've gone though $2912 worth of nickels and have 8 holes left (all 1950 and below) - I will complete the entire series :)
If you're afraid you might become obsessed and feel that that is a problem, quit now! You've been warned!

It's possible. I've done it myself. I just finished the whole set (1938-2009) in the beginning of this year. I also finished 2nd set of 1938-61. It's a lot of fun. Good luck!

Still working on mine. Got all but 5 in a few months. Now is the hard part, getting those others. Dont do as many nickels these days but eventually I will finish it.

Good luck with that...I'm about a month away from a year in and about 100,000 coins in and am missing just one - the 1955. After I find that one I'll likely take a break from nickels for awhile, but it has been a very fun adventure as well as very educational in picking up the finer points of the series, and of grading them. Enjoy our humble nickel!  |

Uh-oh...someone else has caught the disease! I echo Nickelsearcher; keep us posted of your results in the nickel roll searching thread and let us know how you are doing. I started that thread, and a number of folks are doing the same thing now. I am going through 25,000 rolls (500 boxes) and have completed one set. Need three 1950d's to make three more sets. Just last night found a 1946d over horizontal d, so there are great varieties to be found too! Good luck and enjoy the quest!

I did that same thing a long, long time ago. Completely filled 6 Whitman Albums all at the same time and really easily. Of course that was a long time ago. I used to buy bags of pennies and/or nickels from a really old bank. Used to find all sorts of stuff at that place then they got bought out by Bank of America and poof, everything changed. Was fun while it lasted.

Wow I didn't think the 1950-D's were findable, but it seems that people here have done it! Has anyone found one recently, or mostly in a previous decade. I'd like a few if you find any  |

I completed my set of shield cents from circulation just the other day.  I think maybe that was easier. |

I have just started the same project, but I have only gone through about 40$ worth so far. Still many holes to fill.

RollSeeker (nice name!): a number of people have found 50D's recently - not me yet. I seem to recall Yinzi50 has found a few this year so maybe he'll salt the rolls for us.

I've been doing a box of nickels per week in search of War Nickels mostly, and those elusive dates of course. But I have so far managed to resist the urge to start a circulated set. I'm working on a proof set first. |

Sometimes is hard believe the dates you guys can't find because I'm on nickel search only for proofs Indians and liberty heads trough rolls and found all dates include the early s,d mint marks but after read posts in here can't wait for pass by a book store to by nickels album because I'm sure they are easy to fill abs as far I see I may be able to fill one with 3 or 4 brinks boxes but maybe my are though ! Anyway I have 5 rolls of 40s that I alley kept the good condition I found
