Me neither. I messed up on the 1955, it's a D but I forgot to write the mint mark down on my tally sheet. The 1950 also turned out to be a 1956 upon closer examination. I discovered my mistakes as I was sorting and grading these for my archives. I corrected my original post above.

Most of my old nickels are plain, ie Philadelphia mint, but I do have some D's and S's in my collection.

A lot of my coins here are D or S. Which is to be expected since I'm a lot closer to Denver and San Francisco than to Philadelphia.

In my nickel collection, from 1952 and later the D's outnumber the others 2:1 or more.
