DobermanOwner Valued Member United States 125 Posts	Posted 03/09/2013 11:13 am I don't do dimes, but with nickels, I get usually get at least 1 War Nickel per box. I get a buffalo every 5 boxes or so. I keep any nickels minted before 1960 and all 2009's because of low mintage numbers. War Nickels are dated from 1942-1945 and will have a large mint mark directly above the montecello (monument on the reverse). Report this Post to the Staff
mike1 New Member United States 11 Posts	Posted 03/09/2013 11:28 am are all nickels before 1960 worth more than face value? Report this Post to the Staff
DobermanOwner Valued Member United States 125 Posts	Posted 03/10/2013 02:21 am If they are in good shape, yes most of them are but not by much. There are a few dates that are really difficult to come by: 1950-D, 1939-D, 1939-S, 1938-S and 1938-D and are called "key dates". Those are the top 5 (not in any particular order).

Bassmaster Pillar of the Community United States 1130 Posts	Posted 03/11/2013 9:24 pm I definitely agree with DobermanOwner. They are worth more than face, but not by much. I keep pre 1970 2004-2005, 2009, all s mints, and of course proofs. I have found some pretty decent finds from nickels. It is very rare for me to find a buffalo, but that is always nice.
