I've completed 3 sets of Jefferson nickels out of circulation (coin roll hunting) in the past five years and four sets in my lifetime.

There are few Jefferson nickels that are tough to find, but the 1950-D might be the toughest. Tough, but not impossible. Many have been found and reported here on CCF.


Yup. 1939-D (3) and 1950-D (4) have been my toughest in approximately 1.375 million coins searched. The only other coin not to get to double-digits is the 1938-D (8).

Also, for those not in the know, the 2009 coins are tough to find for most of us, particularly the 2009-P. I've only found 99 examples to date.
CRH Nickeloholic. 1,600,000 nickels searched in eight years! Have found FOUR complete Jefferson sets!

Though not coin roll hunting, I found 2 1950-D nickels in a set of coins acquired recently. My eyes couldn't believe me. I found one of every date from 1938 through 1959 except the 38 mintmarked coins and a 39-D.

About Coinfrog's comment, IMHO you aren't really a collector if you are only concerned with how much the collectables are worth.
It's the history, the thrill of the hunt, that makes collecting valuable, not the monetary value of the coins themselves.
IMO if one was only really interested in making a profit in our society, they would take up real estate or the stock market.
