Over the last year I saved every 1960 thru 1972 nickel I ever got from coin roll hunting. They are from fedboxes and non are brand new looking coins. They all mints I think I have maybe 60 to 100 bucks face on them. I went thru serval thousand rolls and collected them up looking for pre 1960 stuff to fill my books. I already tossed 60 bucks face worth 1964 philly or denver rolls into machices at bank.
At time I started saving them I just started collecting coins last year and was thinking about making an solid date roll set from 1938 thru 1972. I am saving all pre 1959 nickels onley after thinking about it. That 1960 thru 1972 years I dont if worth saving anymore.
I dont need the money but I could use money at bank buy fresh boxes of coins to search becides keeping those coins. Its an pile piling up of old used nickels .

I'd toss 'um bro.
I'm thinking of putting together a Solid Date Roll Set (1938-2003) together just for fun. The value of most dates in circualted condition isn't worth much (um...$2 hehe) but I think it would be nice to have and a fun project to tackle. I wouldn't save more than the 40 needed in any post-60 date, with the exception of the 1968D. 91 million minted is alot, but compared with the rest of the series at that point in time they are pretty rare. I've saved up maybe 10 of them in the 300+ rolls of looked through to last few weeks. Not super rare, not quite a semi-key, but something everyone will still need for their books.
I see it as if you return them to the bank you'll be able to buy some more rolls and find some older dates that will be worth keeping.

I agree with GFR3; not worth keeping. Unless they really look sweet (at least MS) I don't see it being worth it unless you have the money to spare and you just want to hoard them for the fact that due to their metal content they are worth more than a nickel. Especially 1964; doing my nickel survey sometimes I find just as many of those as current dates.

Agree unless they are a great example the just put them back into circ. I was hoarding them for a time but I just separated 64 and up and dumped them.

Turn them in and buy a $60 to $100 coin. I save my coins from roll hunting (I only look for cents) and spare change and turn them in and then buy a nice coin for my collection.

I'd save varieties and high grades and spend the rest. Maybe 1% are worth saving, if that.

Thanks, I guess I will pull any au/bu from them and send them back to bank. You guys are correct since they were pulled from circulation they are worth face after checking serval auctions on ebay. I dont what I thinking saving those things when I first started building my nickel books last year. I started saving them when I first starting collecting coins over an year ago. The onley coins I will keep are pre 59 stuff and wartime silvers. The rest will be tossed . I thought about I wanted solid date rolls from 60 thru 72. It beter to buy bu rolls or bank wraped rolls becides that wore out junk. Chevrolet454ss |
