coins92 Pillar of the Community United States 851 Posts	Posted 03/22/2009 5:30 pm Yesterday I asked a teller at my local bank for a 100 dollar box of nickels. She asked me what I was doing with that many nickels and I told her I look for older coins. She then said "Oh if you want, I had a guy drop these off a couple hours ago!" She proceeded to dig through her draw and of the fifteen she had I chose the best. She also had a handful of fifties from the same series.

coins92 Pillar of the Community United States 851 Posts	Posted 03/22/2009 6:13 pm What do you think I could get for them? I'd love to hold on to them but they are too much to save. I just wanted to save them from being thrown back into circulation and would like to have them safe in another collectors hands. Report this Post to the Staff
Cole317 Valued Member United States 248 Posts	Posted 03/22/2009 6:28 pm I know exactly what you're saying, I hate finding the special high denominations, I'm no expert but on ebay I saw some in similar condition to yours and they were going anywhere from $160-230. sorry I'm not much help, let's wait for the experts to tell ya. Anyways that's a good find and I might be interested If you plan on selling some Report this Post to the Staff
