Hello.. A question in regards to these 2 - 5 cent pieces.

Is anyone saving the 2000P 5 cent pieces they find in circulation? Even though they aren't in pristine condition their mintage is lower than the 1970 one....mintage is 4,899,000.

Is anyone saving their 1977 low 5 cent circulation pieces? I have lots and wasn't sure if I should separate them from the high 7's.

Thanks.

Hi Coin Chick,
I keep everything I find that is" Key Dated " or that has value over face value. My intentions with these and all coins are for my kids to enjoy when I'm long gone and in 60 + years when my kid have kids these coin may have value of some sort. Small investment into the future if wrong they are still worth face value.

I've seen the 2000p sell for $2+ on ebay in circulated condition.

I am of the same mindset as WCP. I have been saving mint rolls for about 25 years. They may not be worth much in my lifetime but would be something for my grandchildren or great grandchildren. If I get the 2000p in my change ,I just throw them in a jar with other "saveable" coins. As to the 77's, I just save them all together in circulated rolls and add them to my pure nickel hoard

I agree..
I just put all the 1977s that I find in rolls, have about 14 or so rolls now, high, low, level..
Also, keep all the 2000P ones I find too.

The 1977 low 7 somehow got the reputation for being scarce, but they are actually very common in circulation.
