Yes. I have found a 1950-d in circulation. I was only buying 5 rolls at a time for hunting and somehow I found it. Granted I started that 10 years ago. It's a pleasure whenever I see a 1950, hoping that it will have that D mintmark.
I recently found my second 1955 as well. I remember that 1955 was a tough date for me.
I used to look at each nickel under magnification, looking for double dies, overdates, and RPMs. Then I realized that I just don't have the eye for it. I saved many of what appeared as 1999-p/p's before I read somewhere that it's not a RPM or double die, but the result of the die wearing down. I stopped after realizing that there were more p/p's than were worth saving. I must have a whole jar of them.
