Today's Finds (Proof Nickel, AU 1938, and Nazi: 1 Pfennig)

These are the finds from today's box of nickels: 1938 XF-AU Jefferson (maybe some of you can give me your opinion on the condition), 1992 S Jefferson Proof (my 1st proof Nickel), and a 1943 P War Nickel.

The 1 Pfennig was a neat find from my wife. She is a 1st grade teacher and runs the school bookstore. Since my return to CRHing she has brought me the change to sort / go through / roll. This find was definitely worth the penny I traded to the bookstore for it. My father is a German immigrant and he was really happy to see this find. It will also be cool to show to my students, we will be covering WWII very soon. The reverse features the German eagle clutching a swastika, unfortunately only the obverse pic turned out well. It is significantly smaller than a US Penny.

Thanks for looking,
Karl

Nice finds! That Reichspfennig is pretty cool. I've got quite a bit of German coinage in my foreign jar, but none of it is Nazi era. That 38 looks pretty sweet, too. I'd say as long as it still has some of the mint luster, it's an easy AU. Looks like a good box you had there. :thumbsup:

Well Karl I think it is safe to say you have found your nich in the Coin Roll Hunting Community. If I were you, with the luck you have in the nickel category, I would hit nickels hard and long buddy. Get your silver in the War nickel arena. Your doing good keep it up.

Nickels are great fun to hunt. in something over 100 dollars in nickels I've found a pile of pre 1960.s, a couple of war nickels, a 1995 speared buffalo error, a 192? buffalo nickel, and a 1939P.
