There are some good years in there that are great collector coins.
Low mintage
39d, 39s, 50d, the 38s 38d
I keep the pre60's minus the 5 most common ones. Then when I have a bunch I can trade them for something else and keep what I want

You can go to the forum about $25,000 in nickels, and see what other people have found in their rolls. I guarantee you when you find your first buffalo, it will be the best feeling in the world. Good luck!  |

Well the wife and I just searched 21 rolls. We found: 3 War Nickels6 2005 Buffs. 8 older than 1960 and 1 very nice 2009. Not to bad I think. What do you all keep your pre 60 nickels in? I will put the others in those cardboard coin holders. |

You did just fine in your 21 rolls ... in fact 3 war silver Jefferson is much better than what we usually find on average. I caution that the 2005 Buffalo reverse Jefferson are not worthy of saving unless in truly stunning mint state ... there were a staggering 936,000,000 of these minted and released. Keep them of course if you enjoy them ... just know that they will always and forever be worth 5 cents. Quote:
What do you all keep your pre 60 nickels in? I have an old blue Whitman folder #9009 that houses my Jefferson set 1938 - 1961. I enjoy the folder because it allows me to make easy changes when I upgrade a coin. The remainder of my set 1962 - date is housed in a Dansco album (7113) ... a very elegant way to store and show the coins. Hoping my reply helps ...

I keep all 2009s like you said, and I also keep all of the 2004-2005 nickels.

I like to keep a few 60's nickels (except 64) that have steps. So few do that the ones in good condition are rarities.
In my last box I actually kept one '64 that was nearly uncirculated and well struck, but that's the first one in ages.

For '05, there are 3 seperate "speared" varieties, a "shackled" bison, "bald" bison, a really neat "unicorn", but that's a die chip. A detached leg, and 1 or 2 I'm forgetting.

I need some help!! I just started this little hobby of roll hunting and yesterday I fount a 1946 no mint mark nickel and it makes a funny noise when mixed with other coins, and a roll later found another 46 and it sounds normal. Any Ideas? It is not silver it was tested by a jewler friend, and the outer ring looks like it was cladded together. Thanks! |

So far, my son and I have found a total of 106 old Buffalo nickels from roll searching, so I'd say it is still worth roll searching for them. |
