LOL, I was talking about gold & silver ...

Even Jefferson nickels is a better investment than copper round ...


Is it weird that I keep all my nickels from my pocket change too?

@realmoney,Keep Full Steps BU Clad Nickels not weird. Keeping all Nickels if u want to not weird just sort the Full Steps thats all.

@realmoney,I think u should learn what you can from the guys and ladies that post comments about Errors and Doubled Dies on this site its a good and fun thing to do. I have myself found hundreds of dollars in Lincoln Cent Errors and Doubled Die Cents over the last 5 years or so.

realmoney,

Stop wasting your time going through Nickels one-by-one. I have a better strategy for you.

Go get one $100 nickel box from your bank; repeat 50 times. Store them and forget about it.

Ten years later you might have a pleasant surprise.

@realmoney,if you have at this point in the search game a 2013,2014 or 2015 not sure if 2015 are out yet most likely you have a AU=Almost UNC or BU=Brilliant UNC now that is not to say 2013,2014 are not beat up yet some are.

Full Steps are the Steps for the Monticello on the REV for the Jefferson nickel.

You need a 40x I think to fully tell if the Steps are Full without Breaks. Search out Full Steps Jefferson nickel you then should find a Site to teach you all about how to see what to look for when inspecting a Jefferson for full steps.

The older the better. Some of the older years like the 60's had problems with what they call mushy Dies that produced very few full Step Jefferson's. OBW for Jefferson's are unopened most times but the War Nickel OBW's are costly and may get opened but still sold as unopened OBW roll beware on those rolls.

I build Rolls of Full Steps for each year that comes out when I search Nickels,but I really only search Cents the last few years for Class 9 Doubled Die Cents/RPM's and get lucky for anything else I find with Cents which happens a few times a month.

Thanks Silverworld!

I am mostly a melt value guy right. But am interesting in learning, especially since my jars are filling up!

Leon, I have though about buying some boxes, but this way I do not feel like I am spending any money 'investing' in nickels. Plus I like looking through my pocket change after every purchase. 2.5 years of doing so, I haven't found one piece of silver except for a War Nickel.

@realmoney,

I once did some coin roll hunting; it was exhausting.
Trust me, the amount of silver you find, is usually less than federal minimum wage.
That's why I would just get 50 boxes of nickels and call it a day.
