Todays Finds. $10.00 In Nickels

Don't mean to be negative. Just tryinig to encourage young collectors to use their time and energy doing something more productive, and with more learning potential, than searching endless rolls of common coins. That's my conclusion looking back over a long life of collecting.

Shout me down if you like.

I search $20 of nickels every week, and I find a 2006-2020 WDDR pretty much every week. All it takes is a cheap plastic clip-on magnifier and a flashlight. Identifying them requires learning how to use the DDR catalogs. It teaches you how to differentiate MD vs. DDD vs. real doubling. I've learned a lot about mint marks, obverse and reverse design changes, and all sorts of other useful information.

TL;DR: you can learn a lot about coins and varieties via searching rolls of common coins, essentially for free. Just my 2¢.

Great finds on the 1938 and 1938-S!

Well said.
