Either it was here or Ctalk, but I saw someone found a worn out 1867 no rays one.
That'd be my dream.
1892 is my oldest.

I'm sure somebody here has even though that would be a fairly amazing find. However, I have found both a buffalo and liberty head in circulation so I am kinda maxed out of crazy circulation finds. Likely won't top the liberty head.

Ctalk  I don't like them. Only the CCF members there are nice. A few exceptions. My experience there was pretty bad when I started collecting. No sheilds. Only a worn buff. |

I remember just carl mentioning a while back he remembers seeing them in circulation from time to time during childhood. So depending who you ask, if it was long ago I'm sure quite a few have.

Yes, I found a 1867 Shield nickel a couple of years ago. I'm pretty sure I put a picture up somewhere. |

That still looks pretty good, all things considered. Especially compared to buffaloes

Not sure if any modern CRH collector will ever again find a Shield nickel .. the issue being modern automated coin roll sorting machines. The Shield nickel has the same nominal weight ... 5.0 grams ... as the entire Cu/Ni series to date ... but is smaller in diameter (20.5mm vs 21.2mm) and thicker as a result. I suspect that coin roll sorting machines will reject them ... so perhaps the best opportunity is to check the reject slot. I personally would enjoy hearing from anyone who has found an example in recent CRH. David Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art |

While it is unlikely, that is the kind of thing you would find in a customer wrapped roll. I find foreign coins and dimes in cent rolls all the time.

Is this the find you're thinking of, CHD?
No, there was another one. It wasn't on CTalk, it was on T-net. forums/coin-roll-hunting/282120-shield-nickel-find.html on T-net. Not sure if T-Net links are allowed here. |
