Poll Question
Awhile back, I looked for, and could not, find any BU rolls of 2009 Jeffersons I thought for sure that I secured some back then, and apparently I did not...  So...I see that occasionally, some of you post these as "finds" and "keepers". More accurately, I'm wanting to see some poll results of C.R.H.'ers on this. I'd like to know how many rolls or "quantity" you have, from those who are keeping them, and your reasoning, since "low mintage" does not necessarily equate "value". (I started keeping them, but they're typically in pretty rough shape with the ones I find, and so I'm questioning the effort)

I save them regardless of condition. I figured why not see exactly how many of them I can find!

I save them. The only one I turned loose was one that was beat up badly, like it had lived in the street for a few weeks.

For some strange reason I keep all of my nickels.  Good thing I am no longer CRH.  But if I did, I would probably keep the better looking ones in general. |

My reasoning is twofold: 1) I hope they will be more than face value eventually, and 2) it is fun to have additional targets while searching in additional to the obvious early dates. |

Not a nickel but I did find a 2009 D dime on the ground the other day.

I've found 7 or 8 of them in my last 2 boxes...both P & D. VERY circulated condition. I'm not really envisioning the future value or my effort....but I think i'll try to make a roll of each mint and re-evaluate my view at that time. Typically, D mints are most common for me here in Kansas for any coin, so it will prolly take an eternity for my P roll. But...I'm committed now. But I still feel like it's a waste of time and effort, at least in the condition I'm finding them... (Maybe the 2009 will be the 1950-D in 30 years ?) Edited by eaglefoot

I save them all... to date I have 3 2009-P's and approximately 55 2009-D's. The vast majority of mine are XF/AU... I have around 10 Uncirculated ones.
CRH Nickeloholic. 1,600,000 nickels searched in eight years! Have found FOUR complete Jefferson sets!

Eagle - over a roll of 2009P and 25 or so 2009D. Only a handful of either are high grade and most are the garden variety circulated coinage. It's very difficult finding nice specimens. The best of course are in albums or folders and the rest in tubes. Kind of curious to see how many I can find in XF or better.

HMM. I don't keep them. I do keep all 2009 Lincolns I can find, and I recently found a 2005 Jefferson with a buffalo on the reverse(never seen one before), but don't keep the 2009 Jeffersons.
Should I be? Why are they worth keeping over other years?

The mintage numbers are EXTREMELY low for the 2009 Jefferson (both p&d)
The 2009 Lincoln, however, is not worth keeping EVERY one you find, at all. If you come across a BU example of one of the 4 different designs, then yeah, I can't help myself. But overall, no reason whatsoever to be keeping all 2009 Lincolns.
And your 2005 Buffalo is one of the "Westward Series" nickel designs....same as your 2009 Lincoln....no reason to be keeping all those either.
Now, if you want to build a Westward Series folder from circulation or a circulated set of the 2009 Lincoln Bicentennial coins...then yeah.

MontCollector, Maybe is the answer. Here's how I look at it: 1942P - 49.8M(nickel) 1942D - 13.9M 1951P - 28.6M 1951D - 20.5M 2009P - 39.8M 2009D - 46.8M Using RedBook values, we might extrapolate that VF/XF coins might be worth $0.25-0.40 in 60 years and MS63 coins migh be worth $3. But like it was in 1950, folks hoarded MS coins in 2009 so $3 might be a reach. I think this because the 1942D nickels weren't hoarded like the 1950D, and although the 1950D was a sixth of 1942D mintage, the 1942D, in higher states, are worth significantly more (as with the 1939D). So why keep 2009's? I suppose it's because of the artificial scarcity. Since we see so few it seems logical to cull them out. But it might be we are falling victim to the typical paradigm and refusing logic; these aren't rare finds and to buy a high state specimen for your collection readily affordable for under a dollar. Same is true of any coin minted in 2009. That said, I've only ever gotten one dime from 2009 in change over 7 years. Crazy! Edited by Rackster
