Took the nickel plunge yesterday. Here were the notable ones: 1943P War  1944P War  1953 1957D 1958 1959D For those of you interested in the S mints, I found a worn 1968S and a nicer 1970S. There was a 1940, but it had a lot of dings.    Edited by CalzoneManiac

Excellent finds, CalzoneManiac! Thank you, jbuck, for the compliment.  This was in $20 of nickels, by the way. I actually got $40, but the other half was all brand new 2016D.  |

Isn't that a Type-1 1913, John77, given the mound?

Silver is always nice, CalzoneManiac... good job!
aristarchus123, that's a good question... It's so worn though, that it's tough to tell whether there was a line on it or not... there's actually something else about this coin which I'm surprised no one has noticed yet...

I usually inspect the first few rolls as I get them just to make sure that doesn't happen... well, on Monday I forgot... came home with 25 rolls of those new 2016-Ds. I just wasn't paying attention.

If you're talking about the flat spot that's pretty common on old nickels.
I think it is a type 1 specimen. If you have one already you could pickle it and find out. Especially with the damage b

I wasn't really even paying attention until I scanned it... the edge looks very smooth, so I'm thinking it's legit. CRH Nickeloholic. 1,600,000 nickels searched in eight years!

I've never "pickled" a nickel (or any other coin). What's the process? I have a couple of jars of "expired" pickles that I can use. CRH Nickeloholic. 1,600,000 nickels searched in eight years!
