Poll Question
Right now I am looking at several stacks of nickel dollars sitting on my desk and I know I have many more stashed away. I know nickel dollars aren't particularly popular with collectors but if I come across them I always end up keeping them.
So my question to the more experienced collectors is what do you think of nickel dollars?
Yay or Nay?

Some times my dealer uses common circulated nickel dollars and nickel 50 cent pieces for change along with old bills. (Circulated of course, not worth more than FV)

 I'm sorry, I voted "nay". I've have tried honestly to Collect nickel dollars, and at one point I actually did. I seemed to have lost the attraction to nickel dollars since they appeared soo bland, smaller and less exciting (never toned as nice) as their silver counterparts. (pre-1968) Glenn  |

I voted yay but I wouldn't pay more than FV to collect.

 with pimpim. The 2013 Charlton has a section at the back dedicated to nickel dollar varieties, so had a bit of fun this weekend  |

For the regular, circulation ones I agree. I'll go higher for the varieties though. I'm having a lot of fun with that. Getting all the 1974 DYs has been an ongoing project for quite a while now. Still looking for VCR # 1, 7, 12, 13, & 14! (Sorry, haven't converted to the new Charlton #s yet).

Just remember that there are some varieties that aren't listed in Charlton's 67th. So be sure to eyeball the whole coin (eg. Short Water Lines at the stern 1975, 1976) and find others. I didn't know about Flat Field Doubling until I started to collect the Nickel Dollars.

I like the nickel dollar because most people pass them by. I just picked up the 1972 ICCS MS 65 quite scarce. just looking for the double yokes now, but I feel they are over priced as there are so many different ones.  |

Good snag on the 1972. I saw it but was too late to grab it!! While there are no varieties for that year, I was thinking it could be an upgrade for my registry set - tough year for MS-65.
