Big Haul Of Old Jeffersons, What To Do With Them?

If you don't need the money, just keep all of them. They're already worth more than face value just for the metal content.

if you coin roll hunt nickels a lot maybe start and make rolls of them (40) of each date and mint mark...that is what I'm trying to do with nickels...its gona be hard to get some of the tough dates....i only do pre 1960 for the rolls...but a 1938 P roll circulated is still going for about 4-6x face on ebay depending on grade

the said the nickel ones are only $4 :) An ike book would be nice, a Wheat cent would be nice...
I kind of want them to be able to display my coins, I just worry about the pennies corroding. I have heard stories, but also seen first hand the damage that can happen. My friends grandpa had a collection but it corroded to junk while in the folder. It was an odd rustiness. The coins not in the folders (mostly in tubes) faired much better.



I wonder if storing the coin folder in a big ziplock bag would save them from corrosion?

I recommend storing all albums in Ziploc bags. Doesn't hurt to put a few silica gel packs in the bag too. Also a few pre 1982 cents should go in the bag.

That is correct. For melt value, age is irrelevant.

I hoard nickels to save them from being melted.

Just to be clear. I was suggesting you hold these nickels for their potential numismatic value. I'm not a big supporter of hoarding nickels as an base metal investment.
