It was common to find a large number of 1960 nickels with even a larger Cud over the "0" when receiving change in the mid & late 1960's... Back then I never associated it as a error... |

Bar Nickel - are we looking at the filling between the date and rim?

These things were like ants at a picnic in the early 60's. Back then, we'd spend them on a tube of "Believe It or Not Peanuts" and an RC Cola!

Remember that candy bars were a nickel back in the old days. Nice finds and ones I didn't know about. Good Lord there is a lot to look for. Business Strikes, Proofs, Doubled Dies( Must be thousands and 9 Doubled Die Classes), Key Dates, Semi-Key Dates, Rare Varieties, Coin Grades, Toning (natural or artificial), Cleaned Coins, Over Date, Re-Punched Mint Marks, Over Mint Marks, Mint Mark Styles and in what years, Mint Mark Location, Broken Mint Mark Punch, Inverted Mint Marks, Small Date, Large Date, Coin Types, Full Bell Lines, Full Bands, Full Torch, Wide AM, Close AM, Designer Initials, Design Anomalies, Dropped Letters, Errors, Trail Dies, BIE's, Die Clashes, Lathe lines, Transitional Varieties (Obverse and Reverse), Cuds, Die Cracks, Shattered Die, Collapsed Die, Die Dents, Floating Roofs, Die Chips, Laminations, Split Plating, Missing Clad Layers, Struck on Wrong Planchet, Misaligned Dies, Off Center, Double Struck, Die Rotation, Machine Doubling, Ejection Doubling, Die Flow, Die Abrasion, Die Deterioration, Gas Bubbles, Woodies, RR Rims, Clipped, Struck Through, Feeder Finger Damage, Zinc Rot, Counterfeits, and probably more I missed and yet to be identified. Makes your head hurt looking for all these and what they mean.  |

Wow! I didn't realize this post was going to go viral! Thanks for all the nice comments. They are pretty neat, I think it was the RedBook I saw them in when I was a kid. I always collected by mint and date, constantly replacing the ones in the Whitmans with ones in better condition. I have looked for a Bar Nickel ever since. I know that sounds crazy, but it's true. Rackster, I think they are found on 1961's, I didn't know about the 62's. Thanks T-Bop, clever, Cascade. O-F, at the rate I'm going, I will have that roll filled on 15 Feb 2816. I will be somewhere near Noah's age. I think that will be pretty cool. CC, there's people on here that have found rolls of them, it shouldn't be too difficult now that you are aware, and yes, they are nice to find - they just look so neat. Kanga, they are more prevalent on later Die States. |

B-C, part of the problem was I didn't receive must change back then. Yes Mcshilling, we are. Westernsky, do you remember Vanilla Pepsi? I loved them, I always got the people at the drug store to give me an extra shot. Peanuts were before all our times Slamnbass. I never heard of Jolt cola. Thanks Buddy. Thanks Pete, you missed a few.

You have now, Coinfrog. They were given names along with others like BIES, to generate interest in the hobby. Thanks Moxing, I thought I was the only one for many years. Now you are the only one. lol It will happen, all it took for me was patience.

Hmmmm....the real vanilla coke! I remember catching the tail end of fountain drawn soda growing up at a local drug store. These days, you can almost get the same effect going to a 5 Guys. But the price of a nickel, bar or not, barely buys the cup and ice I suspect.

They were rally good Rackster, they offered Cherry flavoring too. They'd put a squirt in any soft drink. You can get Cherry Coke at the grocery store now, but there's no comparison. I used to drink Brownies too, now they have YooHoos. A nickel, Bar or not, won't even pay the tax now.
