2/21 Nickels

[bazinga]

Here is what I got from $100 in nickels today. 1940 was represented beautifully today. I also got my first 1938S as well, #3 on the mintage list behind the 39D and 50D. A key date and silver and a new foreign coin is always nice to get

Pretty nice selection of finds there. Wartime silver is always the bomb! I think you're the first to crack the top 5 rarest nickels.

Hey Brian, I know you said you've exhausted all the halves in your area. Do you search them by only looking at the edges, like dimes? The reason I ask is that I got a lone 68D out of my $100 today (woo hoo!) and while examining it I notice that the edge has a fair amount of copper showing, enough that it could be mistaken for a clad. I hope you haven't missed some silver by checking only edges.

Also got my first 2006D penny at McDonald's...I'm lovin' it!

Yeah, I always check the dates on all of my halves. The 68D I found two weeks ago has a lot of copper in the edge.

Great job on those! I've gotten my share of 38's and 39's...but no S or D yet. Great job!

Thought I could continue the silver streak tonight with $35 in nickels but no such luck. Still a pretty good selection though -
