I'm of the opinion that your 1963 Jefferson is a lovely business strike coin. Rims are not squared off as they would be on a proof strike.

I agree with David. A very nice business strike! Given the option, I'd rather that coin over an impaired 1963 proof. That coin is a rather nice find!
David - I was just thinking about it. I was looking for a 1943 D for quite some time. I made a statement about it in this thread and in the very next box, I got a D mint ender. that ended up being the only 1943 D I've found. 2 1950 Ds, both look like AU coins from someone's collection. But that 43...well circulated! But that said, I've only 1 find for the following: 1938 D and S, 1939 S, and the 1943 D. Tough finds so when it happens, happy dance time!

Fully appreciate the CRH thrill Rackster of finding any of those tough Jefferson ... I recall very clearly my initial 1950-D ... it ended face up on the table and I had to ask my son to flip it over for me ... score. I can only imagine the joy of that 1943-D roll ender.  Patience and perseverance are the key to nickel CRH ... the only IMHO circulating USA coinage series that can be completed at face value from local bank rolls. David |

Funny as it may seem today ... I was at 99,200 nickels searched (10/02/2009) when that AU 1950 Jefferson made it's way from the bank roll to the CRH sorting table ... obverse side up haunting me with the possibilities. I recall it was mid-way through my typical $20 nickel search ... so I set the coin aside and finished the 10 rolls ... All along I kept glancing at that 1950 dated coin ... wondering if maybe this was the one to finally score the elusive key-date? When the 10 rolls where done ... and that Jefferson alone sat there tantalizing with it's possibilities ... I did indeed call my son (then 16) over and asked him ... Pick that up ... flip it over ... do you see a mintmark on the reverse? "Sure Dad ... there is a D" Hooray ... score! CRH fans surely have their own stories of that special coin they set aside ... hopeful upon close inspection it proved worthy of their effort and dreams ... Such was my initial 1950-D Jefferson ... which I needed to ask my son to flip for me.  Shared earlier ... here she is ... still in my CRH set and a treasure that I'll likely never upgrade. 1950-D Jefferson nickel - XF/AU David |

Tonight's box yielded a 1906 Liberty. We only have 11 Liberty nickels, and three of them are 1906. This Liberty was in the best condition of any that we have found. I did not know until now that the lady liberty had the word "Liberty" on her head thing. |

Congrats Jon. I think it's called a sweatband (a.k.a. crown).
1911 is my repeater V. I suspect that their is always one.

2 boxes today. One box had a silver ender. 3 silvers, a Cayman Island, a couple of Canadian, a 2009, a high grade 1954S, and the nickel equivalent of rotted Zilconlns   |

Wow - look at that 54S! That had to be an upgrade, no?

This is how I keep track. My spreadsheet is more about date/MM than finds per box.   Thanks to functions in Excel, I can just change the number for a single date/MM and it will automatically update the totals elsewhere in in the file. Once I find a V, I'll expand it to cover earlier decades. I've considered including the number of foreign finds, but I think I've already lost track of most of the Canadian coins. Edited by Numisma
