Indeed ... the 1964 and 1964-D do not make my list of Top-10!

Hello, everyone! Another milestone here: 1950D



The-Goal:-25,000-Rolls-Of-Nickels-All-Searchers-Welcome!



The-Goal:-25,000-Rolls-Of-Nickels-All-Searchers-Welcome!



This is a dent on the rim next to "50".

The-Goal:-25,000-Rolls-Of-Nickels-All-Searchers-Welcome!



The-Goal:-25,000-Rolls-Of-Nickels-All-Searchers-Welcome!

My mind was so set on the 38S I also need that I actually did not realize what I had when I came across this coin. I looked at obverse, it's not 38 then I looked at reverse and it's not S mint. So I just threw it with all the pre-59 pile. Later when I rechecked every coin in the saved pile I then realized it's a very strange coin that I never found one before. Only after I looked my album did I realize this is the one!

So tonight two boxes, 100 rolls
First box from Brinks:
no silver, no buff;
1 50D, 34 pre-59 coins;

Second box from Loomis:
nothing mentionable; 32 pre-59 coins;

Three holes left:
38S, 45P, 45D;

Total rolls searched: 2450

lol I've never seen one like that before, nice find though!
you might be able to get some of it off with acetone, depending on what the coating is made out of.

There is no coating, just bad lighting/camera setting.

These are better:

Went through 50 rolls today 25 Brinks and 25 customer wrapped and found a badly worn 43 P,a 50,51,52 and 39. Really slim pickins lately. I am also seeing a disturbing trend in customer wrapped rolls,many of them are 3-4 nickels short. I know folks can miscount but when I get 5 rolls in a row 3 nickels short it isn't an accident.

nice 50-d......and one of the few that has seen some decent circulation. And I noticed that my customer wrapped nickel rolls have been the slimmer picknigs too....def a bit better startaight from the brinks or string box.

Yinzi50,

WAY TO GO on the 50D!

Through almost 15000 rolls I have only found one! Mine was circulated; probably about f/vf. Most were hoarded, so any found probably look a lot like the one nickelsearcher found a few months back.

Well, finally getting around to posting some updates! I have been holding out on you all; I have at least seven 100 roll updates to post, and maybe as many as ten! Let's get started.....
