how long for nickle set

baltax · Apr 17, 2012

I'm trying to finish a nickle set from circulation. How long did it take you guys that have done it. How many boxes would be better stated not time. I've done 47 boxes found everything except 38's and a common date I can't remember but its common just can't seem to get it lol
1950d was found in last box Yepee

Yes I mean nickel set didn't notice the typo
Goldencoin u have two sets but still no 50d? If that's true I'm one lucky guy I know its hard but didn't realize it was that hard to find

I found 38 and 38s in my first two boxes looking. Took them to a local coin shop to hopefully trade for some junk silver dimes, and got told he had bunches of them, didn't even want to look at my 38-s and it's XF nearly UNC shape....

Of course, this was my first dealing with a coinshop, and I'm under the impression I'd rather Ebay my finds than deal with that rude old man. His prices to buy we're all that bad though. Got three mercs and a rosie for $10. Not shabby.
