Quote:I don't know if a "good portion" of them went to Puerto Rico, but when the first coins started appearing on the market back in 2009, they were being sold by someone in Puerto Rico that had gotten two or three bags of nickels and dimes from the bank there. For about a month he was the only source for them on
ebay.
Probably the same person from PR I bought 10 rolls of 2009-P nickels from a few years ago. Most of the coins were AU or better. Was very happy with my purchase - they threw in an extra roll and 15 BUs from an original roll at no extra charge.
I've searched over 1.3 Million nickels the past five years + and have only found 99 2009-Ps
. I find a 2009-D about every 700 coins or so - I sell the XF/low end AU 2009-Ds and keep the high end AU and BU coins for myself...
