Christophermpollard Valued Member United States 66 Posts	Posted 02/16/2016 11:11 am Where is the value in older coins that are not of good quality and are not silver or buffalo? I did a search and found several 1940 nickels but them being poor grade so, why keep them? Report this Post to the Staff

KenKat Pillar of the Community United States 4085 Posts	Posted 02/16/2016 11:18 am There is not a lot of value in coins of this type. I keep them because they are old rather than because they are valuable. My 7070 US Type Set My 7100 Lincoln Cent Set (now with updates!) Report this Post to the Staff

Christophermpollard Valued Member United States 66 Posts	Posted 02/16/2016 11:31 am How do you store coins like this? Is it worth using a cardboard holder or should I just throw them in a pile in the bottom or the safe? Report this Post to the Staff
mahgobbi Pillar of the Community United States 549 Posts	Posted 02/16/2016 11:42 am I keep 1970 or prior in tubes. Report this Post to the Staff
mdrosophila Pillar of the Community United States 724 Posts	Posted 02/16/2016 11:50 am I usually do not keep such samples. If you do not like them, why not keep them. You keep what you like. Financially, it may not be worthy of the storage cost. Report this Post to the Staff
jbuck Moderator United States 187862 Posts	Posted 02/16/2016 11:54 am I would keep those. Since they are more common I would keep them in a plastic tube (roll).

KenKat Pillar of the Community United States 4085 Posts	Posted 02/16/2016 12:31 pm I keep everything 1960 and prior for nickels. I keep them in a plastic tube as others have indicated. My 7070 US Type Set My 7100 Lincoln Cent Set (now with updates!) Report this Post to the Staff
yakimaboy Pillar of the Community United States 519 Posts	Posted 02/16/2016 4:30 pm These coins will never be worth more than face for the most part. I keep 1959 and older that I find in tubes, just because I like to. If you like them, buy a nickel tube or two and save them, after all they are your nickels. Report this Post to the Staff
moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 02/17/2016 12:17 pm The only reason to save them is because you like them. They will never have much, if any, value above face in our lifetime. Report this Post to the Staff
