Onwards to the next well-organized heaps of nickels from coin roll hunting.

First, let's rule out cupronickel nickels from 1938-1942, 1946-1959. I keep all of the ones I find in a pair of plastic peanut jars labeled 1940s and 1950s. For obvious reasons, I keep 35% War Nickels in a tube.

Over the past three years, whenever I ran across "nice" examples of nickels, I would stash them in paper shotgun tubes. My categories are below. I have since reached some conclusions about stashing rolls. Namely, my nieces and nephews show zero interest in coin collecting. Also, you can buy BU specimens of 1960+ coins in the original mint cello for a pittance. Nobody is going to want XF/AU coins. If some future generation wants to build an album, the 1938-1959 nickels are a solid head start, and they can acquire the rest. I think my inspiration from the Omaha Hoard has fizzled.

Assuming I wanted to cut down this heap of rolls, what would be your strategy to consolidating to a few rolls?

1960-1963 nice
no saving 1964
1965-1967 no mm nice
1968-1969 d,s
1970 d,s
1971-1979 nice
1981,1984-1989 nice
1982-1983 p,d nice (sellers)
1990-1999 p,d full steps MS/AU
2000-2003 FS MS nice
2004-2005 LAP luster, EDS
2006-2022 very nice (luster, MS)
2024-2025 p,d BU
TONED (any year)

I am stashing 10-15 BU rolls of quarter-mil nickels. Those I think should be preserved.

For me, putting older coins back into circulation is the best strategy. By doing so you may spark new interest in coin collecting by some who say "look what I found in change."
Your collection may be too large to recirculate alone, but for some at least.

That's definitely the goal here. The heap is 70-80 rolls. If I can reduce that drastically, I think that's the best result.

Spending or depositing would be easier than selling, but I cannot help thinking the latter might be worth the effort.
