So, what's with the standard issue 2017 nickel? I've been through dozens and dozens of bank rolls and have not found ANY of them. I've even found nickels from the 1940's and 1950's.
Sure, I've found lots of 2017-150 nickels and according to Coins and Canada there's over 106 million of the 2017 minted, even though they don't show an image of one. Are there any out there?

None were issued for circulation.
Only available in Uncirculated sets.
"Dipping" is not considered cleaning...

Thanks for the quick response, does that mean that there's 106 million of them in uncirculated sets?

No,106 million of them weren't struck, that's an error.
PS they were also issued in special mint wrapped rolls for collectors.

I got this recently, either in change or CRH. I thought they minted over a billion of these in 2017, about half D and half P, with a tiny special S minting.   |

Pauldog, the original post is asking about the Canadian classic design 2017 nickels.

Oops! I didn't see the category...  [But wasn't Jefferson a Canadian, like Neil Young?] Edited by Pauldog

No, Jefferson was born in Shadwell, Colony of Virginia.
Young was born in Toronto.

The "regular" (circulated) nickels for 2017 were the 150th Anniversary Commemorative ones. Same deal for all denominations.
The traditional beaver we think of as regular, is the hard to find one. Not issued for circulation, you likely won't see it in circulation. Found in the year sets and some specialty rolls.
I think the number minted is in error. There are probably more of the commemorative one than the traditional one.

The regular 2017 design was not circulated. It can be found in uncirculated sets and special-wrapped mint rolls sold by the RCM at a premium. There were 20 million commemorative design nickels minted for 2017. Many of the 106 million minted in 2017 were most likely dated 2018. |

The RCM's 2018 annual report is out. https://www.mint.ca/store/mint/abou...orts-1400016Looking at the relatively low number of 5c minted in 2018 (87.528 Million) I suspect most of the ''regular'' Nickels (Beaver) minted in 2017 were dated 2016. Unfortunately, the 2018 RCM report once again doesn't have the ''coinage dated production'' chart in it. It's a pity they have abandoned this statistic. Likewise, no figures for NCLT coins. |
