First Loomis Box of Nickels yields 1950

[mws_1984]

So I have been picking up from a couple of local BoA's. They had String boxes, but I decided to hit another one in the next town over on the way home the other day. Brought me a box I'd never seen before. Was a Loomis box. Here is what I got out of it. Nothing too great, but I pull all the pre 1960 stuff just because. Unfortunately no War Nickels, but some good older hits including a 1950D!

1938-my earliest pull.
1939x2
1940
1941
1941D? It is dirty on the obverse so not sure if it's a D or S. Some sort of tarry looking stuff.
1946x2
1947
1947D
1948S
1950D Wasn't sure I'd ever find one of these as it seems they are quite rare.
1952D
1953S
1954D
1955Dx2
1956
1956D
1957
1957Dx3
1958
1959x2
1959Dx2

Not even sure what # nickel box this is for me. I was keeping track but kind of stopped. I know it's less than 10 boxes. Probably like 3 or 4 I've done give or take.

My numbers are not exact since I only started keeping track of what I searched and my finds this year.

30 boxes is a rough guess on what I searched since 2007 when I started this hobby. Wish I had started ordering half dollar boxes before this year as well. hh

Wow - congrats on the '50D - that's an even better find than a war nic.

I found my first '50D just last month and I couldn't believe it at first either.

I suppose so. Guess it was either find a couple of war nickels or a rare 1950. I'm happy.
