  Always nice to see a pre-1960 in change. I get a few from the late '50s periodically, but it's been a while since I saw any '30s or '40s, and even longer since I got a war nickel.

  I still find a 1950s nickel in change at least once or twice a month. So much so that I just move it on and put it back in circulation. Now the 1940s are a rare find for me.

  I received a war nickel in change two weeks ago. Quite rare now. Cheers, RickO

  Nickels are the most common to be found "old" in change due to the long running design.

  I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

  I got this '54 AU-ish Jeff in the till at work. That's a terrible scan- the coin had nice luster and pretty toning on it.
  
  
  
  
  On the same day, or maybe give or take a day before or after, I got this Series 1934 $5 silver certificate!
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  That was a pretty good week for circ finds.

  I love those old worn nickels, and it is always a thrill to catch one in change. When I first started collecting them, about 1970, I had the idea that the more worn they were, the more collectible they were. I always looked for the worn ones. It's a knack I have for mis-directing effort... I still like them, though.

  Markets (governments) can remain irrational longer than an investor can remain solvent.

  I'm guessing that because of 40+ years of melting, some war nickels are now more scarce than the 1950-D.
