Great! A '50 is always nice, regardless of mm. I try to wait awhile before flipping it over, but never works.

I'm working on a complete set from circulation/rolls myself and I have about 15 holes left. Also working on a BU/proof set but that's going much more slowly than the circ set. :)

dfg04, I suggest you buy a box of nickels from your local bank branch and you'll be amazed at just how many of those holes you can fill, including those San Frans. :) I probably filled 90% of my album from just a couple boxes. And now the law of diminishing returns sets in.... bleah...
Yeah, it's $125 per box but remember you return most of it. Also a simple way to save. Withdraw from your checking and deposit into savings. It's also fun and a great way to multitask while watching Monday Night Football.
That's how I've filled almost all but 21 of the holes in my folders.
And like I said, I'm working on a circulated album (best condition I can find in circ) and a BU/Proof album. Honestly...the UNC album is more satisfying in the long run. :)

i havent worried about condition, if I do find one that is a little better, I will replace it in the album. but I'm broke til next tuesday because I was getting key dates for my wheats and that put me at 90 dollars. I'm close to completing the lincoln cents. Ill have to go down and create my savings alongside my checking, I've been meaning to do that.lol

Sorry, $100/box for nickels. :)
I usually buy a box of nickels and a box of cents at the same time, which is $125 together.

If you start doing this regularly, you'll find it's just easier to get a box from time to time. :)

Yep, get a box. You have a good chance of also finding Buffalos and proofs as well.
