What's everyone's opinion on how rare is the 2000P Canada nickel, are they that hard to find in circulation? I just came across 2 of them but, I have seen articles that say they are "rare" if you want to use that word.  |

Rare? Not really.I have 14 MS myself.Mintage is 4,899,000. The 2000W would be more rare,since they were minted for sets only.It's the same old story."if you find a W in circulation,well you know"  Edited by collectall

I bought a 2000p on ebay for $2+ and then found one in my change a week later, wasn't impressed with the ebay hype. It would be cheaper to buy the 2000w set than to buy the individual "rare found in circulation" off ebay. |

They seem quite common although I get excited every time I find one.

I have close to 2 rolls I have pulled from circulation so far. Lower mintage then the 1970 nickel but I find them more frequently. I pull any I find from circulation unless they are trashed and put them aside. In the last month I have searched through 20 boxes of nickels and pulled 7 x 1970 and around 20 x 2000P. It is hit or miss. Sometimes I find several in a box and then none for a few boxes. I also keep any High grade 2001 No P I find...just over 30 million minted but still fun to find.

I find two or three per box of nickels and like cladhunter, I save them unless they are trashed. I think the mintage is too high to be considered a rare coin.
