Saor Alba Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 Had to go to Home Depot because Sears wasn't open and I didn't feel like waiting. When I checked out I used the automated thing, and got a 1970-S nickel, and the best find of the week a 1937 Lincoln. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mohawk Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 Nice find, you don't see the S mint nickels around much anymore in circulation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn235 Posted April 29, 2010 Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 Actually, I've found quite the contrary. The mintage figures for post-1950's S nickels are not significantly less than P and D nickels. In fact the '68-D is actually rarer than the '68-S. When I first started noticing these nickels, I hoarded them thinking they were rare. After several months, I realized that I had more than a full roll's worth of these coins and was finding 1-3 per day. I ended up spending a good portion of them back into circulation.

Saor Alba Posted April 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 Back at Home Depot this morning seeking stuff for a project, and got a 1940-D in change this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
