Nickelman Pillar of the Community United States 1397 Posts	Posted 02/21/2011 11:33 pm I saw this coin face up in a pile of nickels, grabbed my magnifying glass and turned it over expecting to be completely disappointed and there it was... a D mint mark. The coin is worn, but at least it isn't mangled or scratched. I have been looking for years for one of these darned things. Yay! Report this Post to the Staff

Nickelman Pillar of the Community United States 1397 Posts	Posted 02/21/2011 11:46 pm Thanks! You know what's funny? I had to check the date at least 5 times before I was convinced it really was what I thought it was. I kept expecting it to change or something. lol Report this Post to the Staff

chuckster 125 Pillar of the Community United States 4113 Posts	Posted 02/22/2011 01:24 am Excellent Question! Very low mintage nickel & extremely difficult to find in circulation. I just found my first 50D last year after over 40 yrs of searching! Report this Post to the Staff
coinseeker Valued Member United States 119 Posts	Posted 02/22/2011 01:37 am Yonatin.......It's the lowest mintage of the series (2,600,000) and is very difficult to find in circulation. A lot of collectors resort to purchasing one from a coin dealer in order to fill the hole in their albums. And then there are the "die hards" like Nickelman who refuse to stop searching and are rewarded with the experience of discovery. Buying one to complete the set is kinda like kissing your sister. Congrats Nickelman! Edited by coinseeker 02/22/2011 01:38 am Report this Post to the Staff

Thanks, and great analogy. When the mint announced production quantities a lot of people horded these in an uncirculated state. So circulated quantities were lower than what they would have normally been even for this low number. Having said that there are actually many of these uncirculated coins still around due to that initial hording. It is easier to "kiss your sister" than to find in circulation, but not near as rewarding. Edited by Nickelman 02/22/2011 02:04 am Report this Post to the Staff

Nickelman Pillar of the Community United States 1397 Posts	Posted 02/22/2011 10:04 am No Richard I don't actually have a "set" I have been thinking about doing that and have been setting aside coins that I would need to do so. I actually mainly look for War Nickels, old coins of any type, and just interesting stuff like the fore-mentioned Henning. Report this Post to the Staff
