i save all S mintmarks on nickels prior to 1955 (most of these are lower mintage) and of course the S mintmarked proof nickels. I don't save the 68-70 S mintmark nickels. I know a bunch of people do, but I don't think they'll ever be worth anything.

I save all S mint marked finds by default.  I keep all 95% copper cents, which includes all circulation S minted cents (1974 and earlier). I keep all nickels, which includes all circulation S minted nickels (1970 and earlier). Of course, I would keep any NIFC S minted coins (all proofs, 40% silver Eisenhower dollars, 40% Bicentennial issues, and SBA dollars). |

S mint-marked SBA dollars are NIFC? Crap. I got a couple solid rolls of 1980-S agony dollars from the bank about a month ago. I sorted through them for the ones that were in the nicest condition and fully struck, and then used the rest to buy boxes of other coins from a different bank. |

Oops, my bad.  Let me restate: Of course, I would keep any NIFC S minted coins (all proofs, 40% silver Eisenhower dollars, 40% Bicentennial issues) and SBA dollars. Quote:

I hold onto any S minted coins I find, excluding nickels where I only hold the proof varieties. They have to be in really bad shape for me not to pick them out.

I search for copper and have been able to put together 3 rolls of "s" mintmarks. They are hard to come accross.

I still need several S to complete my first set. So I'm pretty much saving anything with an S on it. On the east coast I dont get very many S marks. Or too many D either.

Aye I agree with Steele. They are rarer on the East Coast. As such, I tend to "rescue" all S mint marks I come across out of habit. Mostly 1968-1970S nickels and modern proofs in my Half Dollar rolls. :-)

All S's in circulation stop circulating when they reache me. :) I dont come across too many in NJ. I also take all nickels from before 1964, S or not.

OH GOOD I'm NOT THE ONLY ONE.
I may post my S's in the trade thread when I have enough posts. It seems like I find so much stuff that everyone else is looking for and I don't actually keep usually.

I heard that S minted nickels between late 60's and early 70's are really quite common. Those are the only ones I would not consider holding onto. Assuming the coins condition isn't terrible.
