 Time to start a type set of all coins. Why not Dimes? |

Thx for all the replies. Recent additions: 1886 w/ rays; 2 Jefferson nickels from my change jar; type 1 Buffalo in the mail; also retrieving a 1909 Liberty nickel from my mom's basement I had since I was a wee lad (w/ cents type).    |

Make a strong statement about the history of U.S. coinage. (in nickels)  I would go for a complete type set of nickels, including all of the major reverse design types within the four main groups photographed. |

A major takeaway...
This is the longest US series of coins with the same composition and denomination. 5.00g, 75% Copper, 25% Nickel since 1865...
Silver coin weight standards were changed several times (except for the dollar) but are no longer made.
The 1865 cent is now copper plated zinc.
If you wanted to (please don't), that 1865 Nickel would be accepted happily by a coin-operated vending machine!

Depositing a nice old nickel in a Coinstar would be a nice present for someone. Like a message in a bottle.

Should I buy a proof set of Westward Bound nickels or just find them in pocket change?

No Half Dime for you. Finish your nickel type set first. Where is your 3 c nickel? |
