Decided to pick up some nickel rolls from the bank today. 2nd roll produced another 1940 nickel,(I've been finding a lot of them lately) 5th roll in was a surprise eye popper!! Saw it immediately and the date was 1938!, flipped it over and saw it was an S! This was probably the best nickel find in quite some time. Especially a key date Jefferson nickel that has nothing wrong with it and is in excellent shape for it's age. The last roll produced a common 1961-D nickel, but it's an older nickel so I count it as a find! And I've noticed a load of 1964-D nickels, a good 20 so of them. Those darn things are everywhere and fool you for an older nickel but you flip it over and see it's another 64 yet again.  |

Nice roll find on the '38-S!  The '64-D is about the polar opposite in terms of scarcity. You will see many more because of the outrageous mintage. In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020
In Memory of Tootallious 3-31-1964 to 4-15-2020
In Memory of T-BOP 10-12-1949 to 1-19-2024

Those '64 rascals. Nearly 1.8 billion, w/3 years of minting.

A million years from now when future archaeologists are learning about our society the first thing their dig will encounter is a 1964-D nickel.
Congrats on the 38-S, those are not easy finds.

That is the great thing about collecting Jefferson nickels. You can almost fill an Album from just looking through change or bank rolls. I'm almost done with several Albums of those but just can't find any 64's.  |

Great find! A 70 year old key - wonder what the chances are?

This is exactly why I love circulated coins. 80 years old and shows up in a bank roll in decent shape. What has that coin seen in it's lifetime? Who's hands has it been through? History in your hands!

Nice! I'm starting to wish I hadn't dumped my 5 year CRH collection of over 1,000 1946-1958 Jeffersons, and '38-41 years
