rolhalo Valued Member United States 88 Posts	Posted 09/02/2011 4:59 pm Well today I found my first War Nickel! I know its not that big of a deal to most but it made my day that much better It is a 1945-P. Just thought I would share with everybody. I think I will start roll searching nickels instead of dimes for a while. http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/...DSC00251.jpg http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/...DSC00252.jpg Report this Post to the Staff

bjones Valued Member United States 304 Posts	Posted 09/02/2011 5:38 pm Very nice find. I'm a bit of a War Nickel guy. I have about 200, but no 43-d's. I intend to grab on off the bay soon. Report this Post to the Staff

CaptainFwiffo Pillar of the Community United States 4132 Posts	Posted 09/02/2011 6:23 pm Buffalo nickels are about as common as War Nickels (at least for me), and V nickels show up now and then. 1950, 1950-D, 1939-D/S and 1938-D/S are scarce dates. A lot of people just keep everything from before 1960. There are several doubled dies and repunched mintmarks, and always keep an eye out for errors. Report this Post to the Staff
rolhalo Valued Member United States 88 Posts	Posted 09/02/2011 7:01 pm Yea I always keep an eye out for errors thats mainly what I'm looking for. I found a dime recently that was published in Coin World that I sold for a good amount of $$ so now I am on the lookout. I have seen quite a bit of error nickels on here that I wouldnt mind having.

VisigothKing Pillar of the Community United States 4778 Posts	Posted 09/02/2011 7:07 pm Not an error, but a variety you may or may not be aware of is the 1990 "no FS" (it doesn't have the designer's initials under Jefferson's bust). Report this Post to the Staff
