Besides a certain Klan, what does KKK stand for?
Former stock broker w/ ~20 yrs. at one company. Spoke with 100k+ people and traded a lot (long, short, options, margin, extended hours, etc.).

NOTE: ANY stocks I discuss, no matter how compelling, carry risk- often
substantial. If not prepared to buy it multiple times in modest amounts without going overboard (assuming nothing really wrong with the company), you need to learn more about the market and managing risk. Also, please research covered calls (options) and selling short as well.

Wow, that was close...I haven't found any 1950's at all among the thousands (KKK) of nickels I have searched.

I've found perhaps 3-4 1950-P's over decades of looking, but never a "D".

I have a whole bunch of pre-1960's in a 1 gal bucket. For some reason I never kept my eye out for a 1950D. Now I have something to do when I'm bored.
