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.
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
Buying CU cents!!!! Paying 1.2 unlimited amounts wanted. Can pick up if near Ohio area.
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.
Now selling Copper pennies. 1.6x plus shipping. Limited amounts available.
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.

This would explain why you can buy mint rolls on ebay. One guy had 4 of them for about $400 each I think.
Nice find! I am still waiting on mine. I keep getting the 50 and flip it over only to be disappointed.

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.
