IMHO the search for a complete circulation strike set from rolls is great fun ... and can still be completed with some patience and persistence. I've been at it since February 2008 and am now at 250,800 coins searched ... with two holes to fill. David Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff

I just hit 33,000 nickels and I need 11 more: 1950 d (2.6 million) 1939 d (3.5 million) 1938 d (5.4 million) 1955 (8.3 million) 1946 s (13.6 million) 1943 d (15.3 million) silver 1953 s (19.2 million) 1944 d (32.3 million) silver 2009 (39.8 million) 1942 p (57.9 million) silver 1945 p (119.4 million) silver I'm sure it get's really hard though. starting out is easy.

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15433 Posts	Posted 07/16/2011 11:02 am Hmmmm ... my searching activity is most definitely tied to the demands of work ... some weeks more coins ... some weeks none at all. I've been at the Quest for 41 months now ... and have been through 125 boxes .... so appx 3 boxes per month as a long term rate. I went back to my 30,000 coin summary (close to your current 33,000 coins) .... at that time I had 15 holes pre-1960. Interesting that I have been 'stuck' at 2 holes since 151,600 coins searched when I bagged the 1944-D to leave only the 38-S and 43-D needed. Unless lady fortune smiles on me .... I'm about to pass 100,000 coins searched without filling a hole!

matchbox Pillar of the Community United States 1007 Posts	Posted 07/16/2011 11:07 am My set is complete, but not through circulation. I bought the War Nickels from my local coin shop, an incredible friend gave me the 1950-D as a gift and I had to buy the occasional missing coin. However, it's a nice feeling to be up to date with the Jefferson set. Report this Post to the Staff
