Pulled the 1950D in a CWR of nickels

[CJ9]

Went into a Chase yesterday for nickels and dimes, but they only had $10 of CWR nickels. Turned out one of the rolls had the elusive 1950D. As is typical with these, it is in uncirculated or nearly uncirculated condition.

Thanks for looking and HH.

Thanks. I have gotten a few of these in the past and they are typically in AU or BU condition as people saved them in the 1950s because of the low mintage.

I searched a gazillion nickels in the late 1960s. Bank rolls and the mom & pop shop I worked at. Guess what was the only unfilled hole in my Whitman album?

I mentioned this factoid in an earlier post : I believe one RedBook in the 1960s (maybe 1967 +/-) listed the 1950D at $50.

Funny you say that. I have been searching coins on and off since I was a kid in the 1980s and there were 2 in my album that were missing. The 1943D and the 1950D. Never found either until 2017 when I found the 1950D. Since then I have found 11 of them. I think what has happened as the older generation who either found them or paid the $50 for them has passed away, the coins have found their way into CWR. In 2024 I found 3 of them in one group of rolls and in 2025 I found 3 more in one group of rolls.

I dont have a record of when I first found the 1943D but it was the same sort of thing - sometime in the 2010s.

I lived on the East coast like you guys back in the 70's/80's and also never found one. It was only till I moved out west that I began to find them (three in total). People hoarded them back then so there were a lot fewer that migrated to the East.
