So I threw this String&Son roll of nickels on my table yesterday evening... see the coin at the top? Looks like it might be old, doesn't it?... Turns out that it was old... so what do you all think it turned out to be?  CRH Nickeloholic. 1,600,000 nickels searched in eight years! Have found FOUR complete Jefferson sets!

Well, based off of (207) Not Allowed - Auto-Removed .com, the most valuable (non silver) P mintmark Jefferson nickels are: 1938 and 1939 double Monticello. I doubt you found either of these, but I submitted a guess. |

you can list websites, but the one you included has been banned from listing on CCF. Perhaps do to content or misleading information  |

I'm just talking regular mint issued coins... not including varieties...

Well, Debrajc, there's no mintmark on the coin at the top... that said, you're very very very warm!

1950P? I agree. Was/ is it the 1950 coin minted by Philadelphia? I've only ever found 2 of them on the East Coast (oddly enough, both within a week or two of each other). In contrast, I have come across perhaps half a dozen of the first-year-of-issue 1938-P. I would imagine that due to the well-known rarity of the 1950-D, there's probably significant "spillover hoarding" into the 1950-P issue as well- mainly by people who believe that both coins from that year are of a similar mintage and value.

Agree - my guess would be 1950 P. I only ever got one in circulation. I remember it b/c I was a kid and was excited enough to FINALLY get a 1950. Of course it was bitter sweet to quickly flip it over and not find a D!

Not counting varieties and modern issues, the absolute best I can think of would be the 1944 no P, but it doesn't really count as "regular mint issued".
Looking at the Coin Facts section, I'd guess 1955 or 1950. By the hints 1950 seems more likely.

It's indeed a very tough coin to find, scopru... 1950 and 1955 Phillys are ALWAYS welcome in my rolls.
