John77 Pillar of the Community United States 2949 Posts	Posted 07/17/2018 4:58 pm Thanks, jbuck and aristarchus123! I just realized this is also the first year ever I've found TWO 1950-D nickels! Another milestone! I had only found two my entire life until this year. CRH Nickeloholic. 1,600,000 nickels searched in eight years! Have found FOUR complete Jefferson sets!

John77 Pillar of the Community United States 2949 Posts	Posted 07/18/2018 10:44 am Thanks, jst1dreamr! Well, I was going through the last of the nickels I bought on 7/11/18 this morning. Machine wrapped rolls from a different branch of the bank I found the 1950-D at... So, I get to the 3rd out of 10 rolls, and I see coin drop out with a "D" mintmark which piques my interest... I can tell right away it is the "old style" Jefferson nickel reverse used from 1938 through 1940... A closer view of it... I'm hoping it is a 1938 or 1939, knowing it's likely a 1940... Well, I flipped it, and flipped out AGAIN! Can you believe that? A 1939-D and a 1950-D found in coins bought the very same day from two different branches of the same bank? Needless to say, I will be hitting said bank hard the next few weeks, hoping to mine more keys! It marks the third straight year I have found a 1939-D... and it is the fourth one I've found in my lifetime. So again, tied with the 1950-D for the hardest to find personally. Oh, and now I am down to the 1938-D Jefferson to complete my Jefferson nickel collection found CRH in 2018... One coin from doing this back-to-back years! I guess you can almost call them twins!

dadsoncoinhobby Valued Member United States 237 Posts	Posted 07/19/2018 12:48 pm Picked up a box at the bank today and opened a few rolls. In the very first roll, I found a 1938S! That is our 2nd 38S roll hunting, which leaves our 2nd set of Jefferson nickels short 4 coins from completion (1939D, 1942S, 1943D, 1951S). Our main set still has one left to find (1942S).

John77 Pillar of the Community United States 2949 Posts	Posted 07/29/2018 10:35 pm Bought over 8,000 nickels in my travels Friday and yesterday. The first 6,000 produced only 48 pre-60s, but there were a few really nice finds including a 1938-S , 1942-D, 2 1942-S, 1944-D, and 2 1949-S coins. Only 2 2009-Ds showed up. Working on a box now... Yes, I've managed to find the three toughest Jeffersons in one calendar month! CRH Nickeloholic. 1,600,000 nickels searched in eight years! Have found FOUR complete Jefferson sets!
