allcoinsaregood Pillar of the Community United States 808 Posts	Posted 07/23/2022 5:00 pm Found a rare bird, in my nickel bank roll I found A 1953 S Nickel with the mint mark to the right of Monticello. The coin obviously spent time in the ground as it is dirty and heavly corroded. I have three pics obverse, reverse and one more obverse to show the true color. The first two I used the big light to show the date and mint mark. There were only 19,200,900 minted so it is a miracle to find one in circulation. Let me know your thoughts and Regards Report this Post to the Staff

Chase007 Pillar of the Community United States 7516 Posts	Posted 07/23/2022 5:46 pm Well, given with a lower mintage still a corroded, most likely buried in ground at one time find, but yes it is fun finding these. Report this Post to the Staff

If for only a temp hole filler I guess, I would be out looking for another if I needed one for an album. Indeed it is a nice find in circulation (or was it dug up at some point?) Now, if it were a '51-S or better yet a 1950-D found in circulation, I would be dancing in the street. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.
