Pre-1982 Nickels: Time To Cash Out At Face?

Yes he does, Hub City Coins (Fraser Frizzel). Although Fraser usually flies to that show, I am sure the Bells would haul it back to Moncton for him.

It does not have to be rolled, it is basically by weight. I would imagine he would require a certain face value, I usually make it easy for him and do it in batches of $100 face value. I usually send him a courtesy email prior to the shows, just to give him a heads up, and to see if he is still buying.

@1cent you have a point that there is no signifcant monetary reason to hoard 1955-1958 nickels in lower grades when MS-65 examples exist at cheap prices. The reason I'd buy them 2x face value is that I think it would be fun to search these years and do a die study. The mintages aren't so large that a die study would be a daunting task to do. Will I live long enough to ever to have the time to look at these years...who knows but at least I'd have them on hand to play with in the future if I ever get bored.

IMO there is a sense of discovery in (variety) coin collecting that is difficult to replicate in other ways in modern life. Looking for needles in haystacks is a numbers game so buying large lots of unwanted coins makes it an affordable way to enjoy the hobby. If someone would sell them to me for face + shipping that would be better but roll hunters and former hoarders should get some compensation for their time -- so 2x face seems like a fair price to pay.

Wow!, I just took ours back to bank a few weeks ago....


But, did buy some Newfoundland coins with the proceeds.
