crystalk64 Pillar Of The Community 3147 Posts	Posted 03/29/2006 5:48 pm I think a huge amount of bankers have wised up and while they may have the nickels they are NOT releasing them to the public. Seems to me there are now huge amounts of rolls showing up on ebay. When a guy says he has 50 to 100 cases, well you think about that? Report this Post to the Staff
TheForce Pillar of the Community United States 4868 Posts	Posted 03/30/2006 10:06 am These things are hard to find! I haven't seen any in circulation at all! The only 2006 coinage I have seen thus far are just the quarters and cents. Nothing else. Report this Post to the Staff

TheForce Pillar of the Community United States 4868 Posts	Posted 03/30/2006 10:53 am Eeek! That is awful. I imagine these nickels will be worn down easily. quote: Originally posted by bobby131313 Here's quality control for ya...

TheForce Pillar of the Community United States 4868 Posts	Posted 04/03/2006 1:57 pm I don't know if this was ever mentioned but I would have prefferred a different reverse and get rid of those darn steps. Report this Post to the Staff
Metalman Pillar of the Community United States 7123 Posts	Posted 04/03/2006 2:09 pm Since the early 90's the steps have not really been much of an issue !!Most Nickles beyond that point have full steps albeit to find one without some type of damage on them can be a little tough . The new series nickles, buff's, OIV,and now the revised Monticello will have as a target trying to find coins that are not dinged up in the very large fields !!!and extremely large High relief bust !! This has been a real factor in the pops for high grade,, and will continue to be a problem with this new issue. Rick Report this Post to the Staff
dgoose50 Valued Member United States 79 Posts	Posted 04/05/2006 08:49 am ZakGold is right;these nickels out of the roll are very ugly. I guess the only pretty ones will be the proofs. congress should mandate quality control on the mints.May be G.W. can out source the production to a third world country! Report this Post to the Staff
TheForce Pillar of the Community United States 4868 Posts	Posted 04/05/2006 08:56 am I would have rather seen the Bison continue on instead of Monticello. Report this Post to the Staff
Gary Burke Rest in Peace United States 3730 Posts	Posted 04/05/2006 7:28 pm A couple things. I don't like the portrait either, but I have seen portraits of TJ in history books, and at least one of them is very similar to the one on the nickel. The bad thing about it is, I would think, it won't wear well. I can't imagine what it will look like after having been in circulation for a few years. Secondly, I stopped by two banks today, and asked for the nickels. At both banks, there were none. Somebody hoarding? Report this Post to the Staff

TheForce Pillar of the Community United States 4868 Posts	Posted 04/16/2006 10:50 pm Nickel just seems to be too hard of a metal to be stamped. Perhaps something else could be used? Report this Post to the Staff

zimba New Member United States 28 Posts	Posted 04/17/2006 11:19 am They seem to be coming up fairly frequently in change here in the LA area. I only ever seem to see "D"s though, hardly ever any "P"s. Report this Post to the Staff
mitburke New Member United States 36 Posts	Posted 04/20/2006 3:39 pm I have gotten several in change. I received one a Wal-mart, one from the local grocery store, and one when I cashed a check at the local bank! Report this Post to the Staff
