Sorry hit a 0 instead of a 9. Also got 9 Canadian five cents.

The 1950-D is a TERRIFIC find!  !! That together with the 1914-D Lincoln Cent discovered recently by a cent roll searcher is enough to keep this semi burnt out roll searcher going! |

What company wrapped those rolls and what area of the U.S. do you live? Those are some very nice finds for nickles. I get mostly the modern stuff here in N.C.

I get brinks and live in the southwest Ohio. I will post pictures when I get the time. I was very happy with the hull and will probably get another box tomorrow. I want to find a bank that has a free coin counter. Right now I break apart the plastic wrap and reroll them. I have used over 200+ nickel wrappers and 200+ half dollar wrappers. I always get my wrappers from banks

Great find with the 1950d. I have never found one of those. Always end up shelling out the then bucks to complete the set.
I did, however, find a 1958p today. Don't know why, but that has been a tough one, too.

bencrit - the 1958 Nickel only had a mintage of 17 million whereas 1958-D had a mintage of almost ten times as much...some 168 million

I have very bad news. Upon a closer look I have determined that the 1950D is a forgery. It is a 1959D that had the stem of the 9 smashed.  The bottom is the 'supposed' 1950D and the top is a regular 1950P. Look at the difference in the '0'.  You can see marks where the stem of the 9 used to be  'Supposed' 1950D I am sad to say that I expect it to be a forgery. Any other opinions? |

Bummer with the 50d. It is truely a rare roll find but I won't give up on it. Here are my key/semi-key finds:
1950D 0
1939D 3
1938S 5
1938D 8
1939S 4
340,000 searched means I find a semi-key every 8.5 boxes...not bad. Hopefully all of our next boxes contains a real 50d!
