Doing some coin roll hunting this morning and couldn't believe my eyes: out pops a 1950D nickel in beautiful condition. Hadn't seen one of these in 1 1/2 years...probably over 100 boxes ago. This is one of the last two coins I needed to complete my 5th and final Harris folder. The other is the ever elusive 1939D. I haven't seen one of these in about the same time as the 1950D. HH. 7up.

Very nice! I bought one for my album, since they are so incredibly hard to find. If I ever find one, though, I might swap out the one I bought. :)
