1950 D Jefferson Nickel

The 1950D although being the key date was also hoarded in huge quantities when released (making them affordable in MS) This is the only date I had to buy for my set! So, how much did you pay?

Well the story goes.... I'm a route driver for a local company and I get to visit alot of places and the search function on my GPS is a great feature. So I found this dealer a few towns over and made a lunch stop, He has alot of nice coins and I saw this one sitting in the case. I asked him what he wanted for it and he said $16.00, So wasnt sure about it and I thought I read somewhere on here about it so I came home and did some research on here. Found out it was kinda scarce, SO the next day I'm back up there and it was still there. He also had a few merc dimes that I needed for my Dansco that are in better than great condition and a very fair price. So I scoop up the mercs that I needed and he says here....."take the nickle that you keep eyeing". I asked him how much, All he said was your a new collector this is a gift from me to you. I told him I just couldnt accept a freebie, This went back and forth for a minute or 2 and we decided that I could at least buy him lunch. So I went down to his favorite place to eat and bought him his lunch and we sat there for almost an hour and talked about coins. I gained a wealth of knowledge from him in that short of time but more importantly I gained a friend with a common interest.

You should share who this dealer is, as he seems to merit business! I'm sure there are forum members in Ohio who would buy there. If I lived there, the guy would get my business!

This is a happy story. A wonderful nickel that means something special to you. I have a few of these but none shine as nice as yours does with that story behind it. As I see you are kind of new to CCF, I sure am glad you joined.

Wonderful to hear such stories still taking place. Good behavior from someone in the hobby extending themselves to a new collector.

Welcome aboard!
