Congrats on the 1914-D and 1921-S Buffalo nickels (I've personally found both a 1915-S and 1921-S this year), so these coins are definitely out there... and also congrats on finally getting that pesky 1948-S out of the way!
For the year of 2023, I'm in a very similar boat as you in terms of what I'm yet to find amongst the Jeffersons - 1939-D, 1943-D, and 1944-D. I found another nice 1939-S tonight searching coins I bought today.

Thank you John77! Guess what I found tonight? Another 1948-S
I've got another 2,000 to finish out of this batch. Nothing really great to report. Finally found a silver nickel that was the last coin in the last roll of box #4 that was a 1942-P
The 1960 is a really good looking specimen. The luster is really good on it, so good that my camera won't even focus on it because it reflects so much light.
This was the true find of the last few weeks. This rare, orange pull tab was found in a nickel roll. Wonderful toning, however it has seen better days. (:
Here are the grand totals so far. I will also be keeping track of other fun items on the side. If anyone has any suggestions of other numbers that they would like to see please let me know!

The only thing I'm curious about otherwise is your find rate on 2009 nickels... most parts of the country have an extremely difficult time finding either mintmark (especially the "P" mint coins)... I'm one of the fortunate ones on the West coast who happens to be in an area (L.A.) where the Denver minted coins got some distribution (I find a 2009-D about every 900 coins now, 2009-Ps are about every 13,500 coins or so).
I am planning to make some road trips to San Diego, Las Vegas, and Santa Maria/Solvang in the coming months (and a trip to the PAC NW next summer) to see if my 2009-D find rates are similar to the L.A. area, and also in hopes of finding that elusive 2020-W American Samoa "Bat" Quarter to complete my 10 coin W quarter set from CRH...
