During the 90s full steps became the norm, so to have a premium the coins also need to be in high MS condition, which those shown so far are not. Full steppers from the 1980s and earlier are tougher to come by, and for some years just about impossible to find. If you have any of those, post them so we can give you more feedback.

About $25.00. PCGS listed it for that. I just looked mine up.

nick10, you are wright about a premium with the condition, 5 or 6 steps and MS64 up. Majority at 64 are 15$. If you deduct the fees for certification you will be minus 30 to 50$.

Blondebear, first,  to the CCF! As others have mentioned here, having nickels that have "full steps" isn't enough, they need to be mark-free nearly perfect examples. Grading fees, even with a discount can cost $30 or so EACH coin. We tell people here to look on ebay's SOLD listings for a basic guide to coin values. I have looked up nickels in The Red Book, post '56 (as you said your oldest was), and only those in "Mint State" have a book value of $1-$2 each. Mint State is defined as "Gem Uncirculated, No trace of wear, barely noticeable blemishes." Coin collecting for profit is a very hit-or-miss concept, usually miss. Most of us here seek out coins to collect, and rarely do we hit upon large ticket items. If we had to pay ourselves for our labour, we would hourly be in negative numbers. What I personally do if I had access to your hoard of nickels? I would direct my attention towards errors. Here are a few good sites for you to acquaint yourself with: http://varietyvista.com/04b%20JN%20...02/index.htmhttps://ctferrorcoins.com/Error-Nic...px?sid=12254http://www.error-ref.com/error_and_..._check_list/I am not a nickel collector, I wish I could help you more. I would use these reference guides then, if you aren't personally interested in coin collecting, gather what you think are your best examples and find a local coin shop that you could trust, and see what you can do with them. Selling them online isn't a good idea if you didn't know the inventory well, and then there is mailing and fees and the like. Selling them to a coin shop might be your best option, just know most of what you have is not (most likely) high ticket items, and realise too, coin shops need to make money as well. Selling at every point takes away slightly more of any profit, just so you know. Bonne chance!  Edited by merclover

silviosi Thanks for the advice. Sorry it took me so long to respond. I admit the ones that I chose aren't MS state, I have so many of them I just pulled out a couple from this little box that I have. I have better ones, worse ones, I've got a 1956 in there somewhere. I was looking at greysheet.com. I also made a mistake in my posts. I can't really have anything up to 2006. Cuz they didn't have Monticello in 2004 or five. Lol that's just when my dad closed the shop, it was 2006.
And yes I have done so much research on these darn nickels! I almost feel like if I see another nickel I'm going to throw it! Just kidding, I really enjoy this. I just have looked at a lot of nickels! I also do have a microscope. And some of these regardless of what it look like if it had full steps, it went into the little box. Lol
And thank you to everyone else that has helped me with this. I appreciate all the advice!

Even if is not big value individually, but doing a years sets same will be a challenge and ab reward. I collect, not dealer. I do different sets, complete years, varieties' and invest.

Full steps not all are very valuable, but have a series of full steps it is another thing. Just thing, if you have 1960 stamps but miss one, value of is 1/2 of set, but if you have all, their you can well discuss with the collector and investor.

Silviosi,
Some nickels are worth north of $20,000 in full steps, just a single coin. Certain dates are extremely rare in FS, others are unknown in FS.

Normal strike mean business strike. So to find those. To find those errors or varieties is low. But never know. What we take for those rare variety it is what is know today, this do not mean others they are not here around.

I think he means, normal metal, compared to the copper/silver ones used during the war time, with the silver added instead of nickel.

Don't take this the wrong way silviosi, but I can't understand a word you're saying.
