I found the coveted 1950 D last night! In average circulated condition. Now that I have the hardest one out of the way, the 38 D & S, and the 39 D & S I need to complete my set seem easy. |

Nice find! I am still waiting on mine. I keep getting the 50 and flip it over only to be disappointed. |

I have not yet found a '50-D. Besides the elusive 2009's, that is the one hole I have yet to fill from CRH.

This would explain why you can buy mint rolls on ebay. One guy had 4 of them for about $400 each I think. |

I would say the 50-D is the hardest to find in circulation. It is the only one I haven't found in circulation. 39-D is the second hardest. I have found several 39-S nickels. |

Chris6094...Congrats on the nickel find! Hope you can find the remaining coins you need as easily and from rolls too. The most fun way to build a collection and inexpensive too. |

I know that but mintage doesn't totally have to do with scarcity in circulation. IIRC the 50 is 2.5mil and the 39 is 3.5 mil? It's ben awhile since I looked at coin mintages lol |

The 50 D has the lowest mintage of all Jefferson's |
