I am thrilled to report that tonight at 99,200 coins searched (2480 rolls) I have bagged an XF/AU 1950-D Jefferson from bank rolls.   Picture these poor photos ....  Message to Admin Dudes .... I am unable to post a second photo showing the reverse ...... don't know why? Is there a limit to # of photos per post? Bummer on my big find. I wish I knew the 'secret' to posting more than 1 photo per post. For the rest of you .... this 1950-D shows fine step details (4+ steps fully defined) and is glossy all over. Such is the joy of roll searching ..... a treasure hunt if you will. This 1950-D looked like just any other coin in my latest roll of coins ..... and there she was .... a milestone in my quest to complete the circulation strike from rolls. Yahoo!! .... I am now even more confident that I will someday complete the entire circulation strike collection from rolls ... This is a Big Day for me ...... I hope some of you can understand the joy of such a find in rolls. Best David |

Trying a photo of the reverse ....  OK ... it's a horrible photo .... but this is a well-preserved 1950-D with step details ....... I wonder where it came from? Whatever ....... I am thrilled to have my own 50-D from roll finds! David |

AWESOME PULL!!  That just confirms all that I have read; that most 1950d 's are of high grade because they were hoarded as it was common knowledge that they were going to be scarce (remind you of another similar occurrence? like we are going through right now?) Great shape; that one there! Like Wheezy said, somebody's Whitman is minus a key date (or more) right now. Congrats Again! |

Very good find. I got tired of waiting to find one, so I wimped out & bought it.

Nice coin!!  I wish I was that lucky!  (FYI: I've found when you post the first picture, the page then asks if you want to upload another picture. When you say yes, it reopens the upload window, (you can't see it) BECAUSE it's in the background. You then have to minimize the first page to get to the upload screen again. You can then post all the pictures you want. I hope this works for you!) |

Very nice indeed nickelsearcher! Now that you've found the 'key' to the set I have no doubt that you will soon complete the entire set from circulation! Only five left if I remember correctly, best of luck!

Good memory _22_ ..... you are correct. Still need the 38P (arrrrgh), 38S, 42S, 43D and 44D. Thanks Moe145 .... I'll try that next time. I've pulled the coin out of the folder about 100 times now .... just to be sure it's still a 50-D.  Thinking it through some, I believe you all are correct ..... this coin was set aside in 1950 and recently spent and somehow I became the lucky finder. Thanks for the kind comments ... David |

Like I said in the statistics thread you just posted, you will finish your set in no time now. Of the five that you need, I found four of them in just the last ten days! All but the 38s. Good Luck!

Nice find, I've been finding several higher grade nickels recently as well, but nothing like that.
Im still missing the 38d, 38s, 39d, 43d, 44d, and 50d. Although I'm missing these six with mintage in the millions I've managed to find the 1950 proof with mintage less than 60,000.....Madnesss!?!?!?!

Congrats! I'm still waiting for mine, but I haven't searched close to that many rolls so it's going to be a while for me!
