I'm still trying to decide my "cut-off year". I was keeping ones up to the 1970's....then I changed to the 1960's last year, then now I only keep all "S" mint and anything before 1960. (I find a lot of S mint 1970 for some reason....there's a lot minted...not a lot saved back I guess, they're all still swimming around out there in the Wild. Now, because of finding SO MANY of these still.....I'm thinking of only keeping up to 1956 too, as someone mentioned. Need to use my Nickel coin tubes a little more sparingly and a little more selectively than I have been ! I've realized that I just simply cannot give a home to EVERY stray Jefferson or any other denomination simply because it's at least 50 years old.......I'd like to.....but I can't !  ... |

Yinzi50,
Very surprised you are having problems with the 45P. The third easiest silver nickel for me to find, after the 43P and the 44P. Posting a bunch of updates tonight; four hundred straight rolls searched without a silver one found! That's the longest I have gone without silver. Still have 50 rolls to go through tonight; hopefully will break the drought!

CND:
I am surprised too. Some kind of fluke!
But I do hope to finish the set sooner than you did for your first set. I am located in the middle of two mints.
8 boxes without a silver? That is a drought indeed. Hope you break it next box.

went through $20 worth of nickels (that's all my bank had)
and pulled a 1957 a 1960 and a 1941.
Are these worth anything?

72 rolls today (Brinks box + 22 customer wrapped) The only thing worthy of mention was a lonely War Nickel! But it was a 43D. I threw back lower grade and damaged pre 1960's before I had a chance to count them. |

I got 10 rolls on Saturday. There was 25, that is right 25, 1964 and 1964D.  I wonder if I hoarded enough of these the price would drive upwards?  Can someone run the numbers and see how many I would need to hoard? Edited by seal006

1964 1,028,622,762 1964-D 1,787,297,160 By my calculations, you would need to hoard approximately 1,018,622,762 (1964) and 1,777,297,160 (1964D) in order to bring the available quantity down to a "semikey like" availability. That means you would tie up $139,795,996.10 in nickels! Don't let that discourage you! I'm rooting for you! I read one time that the mintage figure for the 1964D nickel exceeded the entire Buffalo nickel run (1913-1938). Edited by ratman4762

RE 1964 nickels: Call your congressman...it makes as much sense as anything else they do with our money!
