I will go back and sort though them some snowy day later in life when they have been replaced with aluminum. :) Report this Post to the Staff

Older coins are always more fun than newer coins anyway and coins haven't gotten old so fast for a long time. A fifteen year old roll of quarters is virtually ancient. Time don't fly, it bounds and leaps. Report this Post to the Staff
John77 Pillar of the Community United States 2917 Posts	Posted 01/01/2018 10:35 pm I've been doing a similar thing to you, Rackster. I've been going through all of the nickels I have hoarded, and have been saving the best 40 coins of each date for myself, rolling the rest and putting them up for sale on ebay. Some of the dates go very quickly (1942 and 1959 Philly coins, for example). I also keep for myself all 2009-D coins which I would grade AU+ and put all of the lower grade (below AU-50) coins up on ebay as I accumulate rolls. Those also sell fast - even at almost 40 cents a coin! I've also discovered there is now some demand out there for the harder-to-find 50-ish year old coins. In addition to the pre-60s, I also save Philly coins from 1960 through 1963, along with all coins minted from 1965 through 1969, along with 1970-S and 1971 Philly. All of those coins (except the 70-S) are fairly hard to find in circulation these days, and do command a premium on ebay. CRH Nickeloholic. 1,600,000 nickels searched in eight years! Have found FOUR complete Jefferson sets! Edited by John77 01/01/2018 10:38 pm Report this Post to the Staff
garys64wildcat Pillar of the Community United States 593 Posts	Posted 01/12/2018 9:55 pm I was at the bank today and I decided to buy a box of $100 nickels. I haven't CRH for a long time and I was bored. Not bad hunt though. No War Nickels, but one 1938s, Two -1939-P one 39S. 1940-s, 41S, 42P, 9+ from 1946 to 54 all mint-marks, and about 2+ rolls of Lincoln commerative years. lots of 60`s. The 38 and 39`s made me think it was not a waste. Also 6 Black Beauties as a CCF Member mentioned yesterday Report this Post to the Staff
CelticKnot Bedrock of the Community United States 12841 Posts	Posted 01/12/2018 10:18 pm I haven't done a box in a while and we've got some good, chilly stay-inside weather coming. Thanks for the reminder. Report this Post to the Staff
John77 Pillar of the Community United States 2917 Posts	Posted 01/12/2018 10:25 pm Wow, garys64wildcat! That was quite the box. Us West coast people have the advantage of having an easier time finding those key date S-mints over others. CRH Nickeloholic. 1,600,000 nickels searched in eight years!

garys64wildcat Pillar of the Community United States 593 Posts	Posted 01/13/2018 11:50 am I also got about 12 of the 1968, 69 and 70 S mint newer Jefferson nickels, but the high mintage coins probably not to much value and some with full steps. Report this Post to the Staff
