Peter4805 Pillar of the Community Canada 986 Posts	Posted 01/25/2018 1:00 pm Back when 1981 and older nickels were still common and nickel prices were high I gathered over 75 pounds of them. These days I'm lucky to find one a month. Edited by Peter4805 01/25/2018 1:01 pm Report this Post to the Staff
