I went to finish the 3rd nickel box from the other day. One nickel caught my eye. I got out the magnifier and looked at the year,1950. Could it be? I turned it over and saw what we all hope to see for that year, a 'D' mintmark! It's worn but definitely a keeper. I let out a big YES, it's my first 1950-D!
Cent box had 26 wheats(oldest 1939),11 Canadian(oldest 1964) and 1 clad dime
That's all for now. Thanks for reading and good luck everyone. MM2
