1337 Pillar of the Community United States 656 Posts	Posted 04/15/2008 4:58 pm Whats the purpose of keeping prior to 1958. do they exceed the nickel's face value Report this Post to the Staff
of-grampa Valued Member United States 302 Posts	Posted 04/15/2008 4:59 pm You are correct that there is a D over S and an S over D and from what I see there is small premium on them. I guess that is what it is. This is just an ordinary 55d Report this Post to the Staff
copper nickel daddy Pillar of the Community United States 2224 Posts	Posted 04/15/2008 5:57 pm Hi All! GREAT to see a lot of you folks into nickels! I'll try to touch upon a few of the comments from the last few days. I don't have my spreadsheet of how many of each date I've found (believe it or not, I actually record all of my info on actual PAPER, not the computer!) but at the 4000 roll mark I had found 11 of them. Not too easy to find. 1955 Philadelphia is a tougher find (7 found at the 4000 roll mark), but the 1955d has the d/s variety. I've been meaning to post the photo, but I have an MS63 or so 1955d I found during this survey that I'm almost certain is a d/s. Have to post it so the experts can give their opinion! And, I've no real reason to keep pre 1959 nickels; they are all 50 years old, and there is a dealer in Arizona that pays $3.25 a roll for them. I'm getting reading to dump a TON on him! I've been concentrating on halves lately, but I will be back with more nickel updates in a day or two. Report this Post to the Staff

1337 Pillar of the Community United States 656 Posts	Posted 04/15/2008 7:03 pm one more thing: I found a 1967 Nickel. It seems to be super shiny and have a deep cameo. It looks better than a new unc. 2007 Nickel. Have I found anything? Report this Post to the Staff
jbuck Moderator United States 189767 Posts	Posted 04/15/2008 7:13 pm Sounds like one from a Special Mint Set. They were not cameo, but still "proof like" in appearance.

eaglefoot Pillar of the Community United States 6326 Posts	Posted 04/16/2008 3:07 pm I've got 150 War Nickels !......sadly NONE of them found from circulation though !...(they were a gift from Dad)........but it certainly spurred me on to search rolls and keep and eye out for more of them.....sadly to no avail so far... Pretty depressing when you search a massive amount of nickels and come up with nothing of any consequence.......haven't done that for awhile now since. But you know, threads like this kinda DO keep the interest alive........it gives hope to the hopeless ! Edited by eaglefoot 04/16/2008 3:08 pm Report this Post to the Staff
copper nickel daddy Pillar of the Community United States 2224 Posts	Posted 04/16/2008 7:05 pm Hi '64S! The FG was not added to the obverse until 1966, so all pre 1966 nickels have no FG under Jefferson's bust. I find quite a few super high quality early to mid 60's nickels (never with full steps, though), I'm really at a loss to figure out where they all come from. Report this Post to the Staff
1337 Pillar of the Community United States 656 Posts	Posted 04/16/2008 7:16 pm Sorry I mis-interperted this text you wrote: 1949 d/s, 1954 s/d, 1955 d/s, 1990d no "FG initials under Jefferson's bust. you probally just meant the 1990D. sorry. Report this Post to the Staff
copper nickel daddy Pillar of the Community United States 2224 Posts	Posted 04/18/2008 08:27 am I just happened to be rereading this post up to this point and found a major flaw! The initials under Jefferson's bust would be FS, NOT FG!! Report this Post to the Staff
