Chriscoinz Valued Member United States 312 Posts	Posted 09/22/2015 8:46 pm It feels like forever since I have posted on this site, for I have extremely busy with school, work, etc. But last night, in my spare pocket change, I pick up a gleaming nickel. I look at the date, and it's a 1950! I thought wow, that's a great find. And then I looked at the back, and I could not believe my eyes! I saw the "D" located to the right of the Monticello! It now has a proper home in the album, and one of my major goals for coin roll hunting has been scratched of the list! I will truly try and post a picture soon. Report this Post to the Staff

Rackster Pillar of the Community United States 4809 Posts	Posted 09/22/2015 8:56 pm Terrific find! Sounds like a liberated collector's coin to be in that condition. The two I found are very likely liberated coins from a collection. Both in high grade, but unfortunately, one has a couple small coin roller marks. Congratulations on finding the hardest Jefferson for your set! Report this Post to the Staff

skibdib Pillar of the Community United States 1157 Posts	Posted 09/23/2015 5:55 pm Ive looked at 286000 nickels since Jan 1 2014, and over 300,000 altogether. Ive found 2 50d. And you found 1 in pocket change. The nickel is the only coin that you never get more than 1 of in change.... else you would get a dime. Insane pocket find! Report this Post to the Staff

Not true- two Half Cents in a cent, Two Cents in a Two Cent Piece, two dimes in a 20 cent piece, two quarter dollars in a half dollar, two half dollars in a dollar piece, two quarter eagles in a half eagle, two half eagles in an eagle, and two eagles in double eagle.

skibdib Pillar of the Community United States 1157 Posts	Posted 09/23/2015 8:40 pm yah, Half Cents... thats what I buy my oats and turnips with. But again, incredible pocket find! According to my stats, only 1 out of 150,000 pockets would contain that haha. Report this Post to the Staff
Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10048 Posts	Posted 09/23/2015 9:12 pm Amazing find & congrats! I have to admit I am not surprised it in good shape though. So very many of these were put away back then that I would not be surprised to found out the majority are all in decent shape instead of circulated. They still cost about what they did when I was a kid collecting in the 70s. But its ALWAYS exciting to find a key! How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?

skibdib Pillar of the Community United States 1157 Posts	Posted 09/23/2015 9:32 pm I agree, the 2 I found were in very nice, barely circulated coins. You see that too with some of nickels... the 45D I found was a stunner. Never circulated. Report this Post to the Staff
Rackster Pillar of the Community United States 4809 Posts	Posted 09/23/2015 10:05 pm It is amazing what pops up in front of your eyes CRH. Just about every box will have a roll where a 40s/50s specimen is adjacent to an 80s nickel and it's the finer specimen despite having 3 to 4 decades on the newer coin. Report this Post to the Staff
JonNickelCollector Pillar of the Community United States 860 Posts	Posted 09/24/2015 8:00 pm If you found a 1950 (p or d)in good condition, it must have been part of a dump. All of our 1950 nickels have been in worn condition. Report this Post to the Staff
