Save the older dates and keep going to your bank for more boxes. Then on ebay you can sell some older dated rolls. |

If you want to make a few bucks off of those 4,000 nickels you should put them aside for a while, their current melt value is a little over $00.07 cents each. Total melt value of all them is $280.00! And no matter what, prices on everything go up eventually, due mainly to inflation and with inflation at %5 percent, the price will double in 12 years!

I just recently got back into this hobby and recently discovered the joys of coin roll hunting, I have only done $50 of nickels but in those $50 I found two dateless buffalos and about ten pre 1950 dates (sorry I'm at work and don't have the exact #) and 1 Canadian nickel, By what I'm reading on here I got pretty lucky with two buffalos in $50.
Are dateless buffalos worth anything at all?
what the hype on Canadian nickels?
Sorry I'm new so these questions are probably elementary.
thanks for the help

Dateless Buffalos are worth about 25 cents around here. As for the 1982 and 1983 nickels keep them only if they are in AU-55 or better shape since the Mint didn't make any mint sets for those years.

Rob,
2 Buffs in $50 is great! I find less than 1 every $100. Hang on to the Buffs, even if they are dateless. After you get enough of them, you might want to consider restoring the dates via chemicals--doesn't help the value but can fill some holes in the mean time. I have maybe 10 or so (mostly from roll hunting) that I plan on restoring very soon. Its pretty exciting wondering what dates I have waiting to be found.
As for Canadian Nickels, there is really nothin special to them. They're worth basically the same as American Nickels. though pre-82 Canadian are worth more due to Nickel content. I'm having a great time building a collection of them exclusively from Rolls of Jeffersons...though I did end up trading a couple early Jeffs for early Canadians the other week.

I still haven't got my Fed Res. box of halves yet that I've ordered. For awhile, I've given up on the "nickels" ! I've got 50 some silvers from half searching and am excited to continue that.....never orederd a box before so this will be my first. I've cleaned about 9 cities out of their silver (halves) and now am left to "order" them............can't wait for that full roll of "Walkers" or some "Benjamins" !!!

I've been through about $800 in nickels and no buffalos...yet. I've not given up hope! I've found a Liberty Head nickel (1902) and some Chinese currency (Wu Jiao) and 4-5 silver nickels. I get so excited when I tear open a roll and wonder if my first circulating buffalo is in there!
Eaglefoot, your results are pretty similar to my averages for 2 boxes of nickels.

Eaglefoot...I have lists of varieties/errors posted on my wall for various coins, including one with about 100 variety/errors on Jeff nickels up until 1971. Double-edged sword, that. Anyway, for rudimentary purposes on the important dates to look for, I use, https://www.pcgs.com's price lists because it was recently updated and includes a substantial number of the important varieties. Ignore the price quotes, though...theyre very high. Here's the nickel price guide. http://www.pcgs.com/prices/PriceGui...il.aspx?c=83 |
