Wanted to share what was hiding in a roll last month. I was going through a box of Nickels. I Saw 1950...Slowly turned it over and saw the "D". I couldn't believe what I found. Any guess on the Grade?   |

Congratulations! Very nice find. Some steps even. I slowly turned my the 50 I found a couple days ago too (while holding my breath). No luck for me on the D but I was still happy.

nice find!
rachums, I think your being a wee bit too tough on this coin, what your seeing on the obverse is a weak strike.
i have no doubt in my mind that this coin is AU

Way to go! 2 of my last 3 have been nice. Certainly an unintentional dump, or there's fungus (crooks) amungus.

This could be bad news. The color and detail is that of the 1950-Dallas. A counterfeiter in Dallas (late 50's or early '60s) was busted with EDM spark-dies and 2.3million coins. The D-Mint made less than he had in a storage locker. His are better strikes thans D-Mint made. Genuine are soft. Sorry. You need to have this certified, sorry.

Great find! Hope it's real. What kind of holder is that?

Nice find!  Looks like an insert from one of those Whitman holders that I saw at the hobby shop. |
