I swear in the back room of the US Mint there is a die press still minting 1964 nickels. The actual mintage for the 1964 nickel in approaching 3 trillion!!

Good one!  I would actually believe it if some of the ones I keep finding did not look like they were minted in 1964. |

Some of the 1964s that my son and I find look like they were minted in 1944!

AHA!! So, not only do they still mint them today, but they were minting them long before '64 as well!!

My son and I found our third ever Liberty nickel today in a box, a 1897, our oldest yet. It was in pretty poor condition. |

Disappointed! After finding a Liberty nickel and a silver nickel last night, we opened a box today to find out they were all 2011! No roll searching tonight.  |

I apologize for the lack of continual updates. I am currently involved in other matters away from home for the summer and will be back on the hunt in about 4 weeks. Good luck guys!
