Interesting find in pocket change

[Bootyhunter1971]

Went to a local Theme Park, got back some coins in change for somethin I bought and spotted the nickel in the coins looked to be old, you all know how you can just "tell" an older nickel. On further inspection it was either a 1958 or a 1938, date was good just so small I couldn't tell. Put it in the ol' left pocket for safe keeping. Got it home and looked at it with my loupe and it is a 1938, I was stoked!! Flipped it over and saw a small little "S" mint mark, so the nickel I got back in change for 5 cents is actually worth, according to my Red Book, $2.50 in VF-20 and I think it could be a EF-20 making it worth a cool $3 bucks. Regardless the grade it fills that ugly old hole in my Jefferson Nickel Album for a 1938-S and those "S" mintmarks are always the hardest for me to find. Sorry no picks, I will try to get some up later, thanks for looking and HH, haven't been out metal detecting since my boys got out of school in late May, hope to some this week coming if nothig happens. Missed it pretty bad but this little Nickel has helped some. Good luck in your hunts!!
