Full Roll Of 1959 D Nickels.. Good Condition.

to the CCF.

I'll be the contrarian here ... in the spirit of education and sharing from my experience base.

Based on my extensive nickel roll searching this is the most common date of all pre-1960 Jefferson ... and will never be worth more than 5 cents a coin unless in mid-MS with truly 5 full steps.

Even then it will take a TPG certification to convince the collecting public ...

If you believe any of your found roll coins qualify in that regard ... mid-MS with truly 5 full steps ... well, then congratulations indeed.

Otherwise ... these are a common date readily available by the hundreds of millions and accessible to anyone who chooses to search 5 nickel rolls.

Do indeed appreciate your sharing of the full roll find ... I would indeed enjoy it as well ... simply want all of to remain calibrated on 'find excitement' versus numismatic value.

To me these are just spenders. Why lug them around with zero upside potential?

For some perspective:

Over the years, I've found dozens of AU/AU+/MS 1959D (and other dates/mm) nickels. Sometimes by the roll...sometimes comingled with other dates/mms. Since I'm building a roll collection of Jefferson nickels, I can appreciate those odd events when you get a full roll of uncirculated coins. But as others have pointed out, not a ton in value keeping the excess. And there lies my problem: separation anxiety.

In the end, I keep the very best for myself and use the extras for trade with other collectors. Space is not much of an issue...and since these coins are found at face, not too costly to keep in bulk. If the cost of keeping adversely affected the funds to CRH...I might feel differently and dump the excess. Comes down to what you like to keep, reasons/justification to do so, and benefit.

Newguy - you shouldn't avoid buying rolls of coins if you think/know that they may have variety/errors. It may end up a good investment. Just do your homework...pay what you can or feel that they are worth. Would you pass paying $8 on a roll of BU 1959D nickels if you knew they were a sought variety? You might make your money back on the first few coins.

Bottom line: it's great to get lucky and snag a roll of fine coins for face value from the bank, but it's not the only way to acquire fine coins (at a fair price) that you may want for your personal collection or trade. Good luck on the hunt!

It's my birth year, and I bought one at a LCS probably 45 years ago to put together a birth year set, and I bet I paid a quarter for it, so all you have to do is find 40 people like me.

Thank you for helping me. I enjoy hearing what you think I should do with them good or bad news. I am learning a lot from you guys and or girls. Not only from my post but other post as well..

save the best and add the others to your fund to buy more coins
