I thought more people would have had the same conclusion. I'm here in California and after 93 boxes I have only found one.

Wait, I misread. I thought you meant the 1943 d.
I have actually found several 1942 d, never really thought it was a challenge.

nickelsearcher,

I love your stats. We never thought about keeping track of how many boxes/rolls we searched until we got on this forum, by which time it was too late.

Rackster,

I think you are right. It's all about location. Although many on here have talked about the difficulty of finding the 1955p, in Ohio that has not been a problem for us. OTOH, the rare five are all "s" and "d" mints, and those have been quite a challenge, especially the 1950d which was apparently pulled from circulation early on.

I appreciate all the replies to this thread, especially nickelsearcher's stats. Since it has been demonstrated that the 1942d is only hard to find in some areas of the country and not nearly as hard to find as some other nickels, we've decided to release our extras outside our coin books back into the wild for other collectors to find.

Nickel collecting is such a great hobby.

I have no idea how many boxes or rolls I have searched to date. But I have only found 7.

I have a count of all 1938 through 1959 Jefferson nickels I have found if anyone is interested. I don't have totals for the War Nickels. I have sold most of them. I didn't post it because it will take up a bit of space. It's in an Excel sheet.
