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.

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

| 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 |

| 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 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.  |
If your percentages are low.. just sort more. If your percentages are high.. just sort more.
Let me see if I understand this? If you cross the North Korean border illegally, you get 12 years hard labor; the Iranian border illegally you are detained indefinitely. If you cross the US border illegally, you get a driver’s license, a social security card, welfare, food stamps, free health care!

| The 50-D is not the hardest because of the mintages.. it is because most never went into circulation.. they were hoarded as soon as they were released. |

Congrats.  Any chance of a pic?
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. |

Congrats on the great find. I found mine before I knew it was anything special.
Cheers! |
The first panacea for a mismanaged nation is inflation of the currency; second is war. Both bring a temporary (and false) prosperity; both bring a permanent ruin. But both are the refuge of political and economic opportunities. |
