This is a strange situation! For the record, I have not seen a single 2009 Jefferson nickel in the wild! |

Hehe congrats War Nickel. :-) .... (Your choice of avatar is ironic with a nick like that..) I have 5 2009s out of lots of boxes searched. I am also drowning in 2011s. In fact, the last box I got, half of them were BU 20ll Fed rolls. |

I wonder with all those 2011 nickels floating around if the mint will produce less 2012s?

I managed to pull a couple of rolls back in 2009 but have yet to see any since. I think it will be similar to the 50-D situation where people knew about the low mintage and hoarded a lot of MS coins.

I'm saving every 2009 nickel (and every other 2009 coin I find for that matter) because of their relative rarity. Not very many of them have appeared in circulation but I bought a couple rolls back when they were new and are squirreled away.

2009 coins of any denomination are pretty darn scarce for me (DFW area). I don't roll-search nickels, but I've seen a grand total of 3 2009-D nickels in change. I got my 2000-P off ebay. |

I ended up buying an uncirculated role of each about a year ago. Figured it would be nice to have. I also liken this to the 1950d. I believe there will be a premium on these, but that despite the mintage, they will always be availabe in high grades and for relativley cheap for a key date. IF you look at it this way, if you have 100,000 people who collect coins and each has a roll, that's 5 million coins hidden away, and while it's hard to say how many people actually have a roll of these, I know many who have multiple rolls.

Granite asked for a little more background: OK, I am near Niagara Falls NY and have not seen a single 2009 nickel since I started looking about a month ago...I have searched only about 10 rolls of nickels since then, but also always check my pocket change.

Perhaps a large amount of the 2009's are in bags underneath the Presidential dollars bags that nobody wants inside the bank vaults? Edited by oih82w8

It doesn't matter "how many are out there" or "found in the wild". The mintage number for 2009 Jefferson nickels is KNOWN. And the fact is, is that it is most certainly a very low mintage. A LOT of these have been found "in the wild" by MANY MANY folks already.....and MOST are in terrible condition....very worn and ciculated already. (almost ALL of mine were) And my bet is that if there are any still laying in vaults somewhere and not released yet, that when they ARE released, they will soon meet the same fate as their predecessors.......meaning, they'll get "circulated" REAL quick and beat up, before most coin collectors who are interested in them will EVER get their hands on them. This whole thing may never translate into much of a "premium" with staying power, but it also "might". And it's completely harmless to seek out and save any and all you come across. It's just a Nickel ! 50 years from now, SOMEBODY might be glad of the efforts. It's just a guess, a gamble, a theory, or an unknowable prediction anyway ! I don't think ANYBODY believes that you'll ever be able to take the family on a Hawaiian vacation, from having saved a BU roll of these ! ..... even 50 years from now. But that doesn't mean they're not potentially collectible, IMO. Edited by eaglefoot

Maybe a side benefit of killing the one dollar note, which brings the "unwanted dollar coins" into circulation, is that we find the long, lost 2009 nickels.  |

I have been keeping all 2009 nickels that I find, so far out of 10-12 boxes searched I have a roll and a half saved.
