That's cool! I found a '36 Indian head/ buffalo nickel just last week. I will give it to (I hope) just the right person in change at the store one of these days.
sounds like a cool find for you

Yea those are the ones I just love to give to youngsters in change at the store and I will point them out and say, "hey you're a lucky one today, look at this!"
Cool find.
I can remember in the early to mid 1970s finding these quite regularly, even in nice AU-UNC.
Not so anymore.
There's one in "GOD" and "UNITED".
I enjoy finding old coins like that in change... more often wheat cents, then nickels.....been a long time since I found a Merc in change....Cheers, RickO
yeah finding old coins in change tends to make the effort and time looking though change worth while

Always fun to find. Best one for me was a 39-S Jefferson.

that one in change always made me smile when i got one. just saying
Very cool. I remember as a kid in the 70's finding 1938 - 1941 dated nickels in change pretty often. Finding one these days is no longer a common occurrence for sure.
not very common to find old coins in change nowadays, every once in awhile one does pop up in change

Nice!
For many years I hoarded any pre-1960 nickels I found. About 20 years ago I went through them and one of the '39s was the ddr, in about vf, and also found a d/s....may have been a '46. Later a friend of mine's son was building a set of nickels by searching rolls. I let him go through that can and let him keep anything he needed it, but he had to first grade it and then place a value on it using the Redbook. That was an enjoyable evening!
Nice find!
Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.
thanks

Nice. By scanning your pocket change daily, you can assemble a nearly complete date-mint set of Jeffersons. 1950-D and silver alloy coins are notable exceptions.
I search boxes and war nickels show up on average one per box or so. Never found a 50d though.
I still find fascinated that consumers are still using cash. Even at the smallest leveles of exchange's. Maybe in the NE area it's different. Because I honestly can't remember when I had excganged some greenbacks for anything other than maybe a car wash In the last 3 months.
Every point of sale is either a card swipe or a phone tap away from completion.

1950, 1950-D, 1939-D, 1938-DS, 1955, 1958 and most of the war nickels will be VERY tough to find in current circulating coinage.
It won't be easy finding 46-S through 54-S either.
you never know what is lurking within change nowadays sometimes you hit it lucky other times you don't

Cool find! I still save all my pre 1960 Jefferson's I get back in change. The first series I collected as a YN in the mid '80's were Jefferson Nickels, and most I found in circulation with exception of key dates, and some war nickels. It didn't matter then what the coin looked like; it was more about the thrill of finding one, and filling a hole.
Some pursuits, and feelings you just can't shake- including the silly grins when finding them!
it's the thrill of the hunt that makes it interesting cause you never know what is lurking in change

Probably sent two full rolls of these '39 nickels to coinstar this summer.
I had the checking change addiction for forty-five years. Getting older teaches you that some stuff just weighs you down. Letting go is a relief.
true
getting rid of extra coins that are not needed is a good idea i know i had to sometime ago myself

Yes, I've been working on a set from circulation only for years.
39-S , 42-D, 3 Silver alloy found, set approximately 75% complete.
One of my favorite sets, and most fun to build.

RE: "....fun to build." Is this not the key to enjoyment?
well it can be very time consuming and much effort into looking though change but when you find a old coin it makes all that worth it

Only thing better would have been if it had the doubled die reverese!

Nice find.
