Lets start a how to guide for what to look for in nickels. Are there any proof die/business die strike variations like the 98 99 or 2000 Wide AM with lincolns?
What are some cool things to look for that wouldnt be too hard outside of Silver nickels.

I was thinking 1950D pre 1946 coinage ( is that worth pulling)?

I have this BAD habit of saving anything before 1960,
and I scrutinize 54s 55d and 49d for s/d's and d/s's
I have found a 49 d/s but its in good maybe vg, I have
also found every year Jeff in change except for 1950,
not once, never

At the time I found it last month it was the oldest nickel I have found in a roll, a CWR roll from the Credit Union, but last week I found an 1890:



Oh, since March I have found 108 silver war nickels, five liberty nickels, 45 buffalos including a 1913 and a 1938-D and all the dates and mintmarks for the Jefferson series save the '38-S and the '50-D. The most valuable find is a 1976 nickel with a large cud on the obverse.
