Are Any Jefferson Nickels From 1960-1969 Worth Saving From CRHing?

A few are, like any circulated proofs, and aside from a few varieties you mentioned nothing greatly special about any of them.

Numismatic interest in circulated nickels has always been lackluster. Mid-century pennies are worth much more relative to their mintage and condition. You can still find early Jeffersons in circulation -- more easily than wheat pennies. I found a 1947-S not too long ago.

But there will come a time, probably soon, when nickels will be replaced with a cheaper alloy, at which time the salable value of common-date Jeffersons coins will move toward their actual melt value, which is already higher than 5c. The days of big troughs in the prices of copper and nickel are probably over. The cost of producing a nickel is already heading toward 10c.

If I had to predict, I'd say nickels will actually be produced using nickel-plated austenitic (non-magnetic) steel sometime before 2027.

I'm gravitating towards nickel plated zinc. Zinc and steel are about the same price, but steel tends to give banks problems; also not sure how they would do in vending machines, well, those that still take nickels, anyway. It would also be easier for the mint to source zinc (and get better prices), since they're already using a ton of zinc. Also, any plating on plated steel is prone to wearing off, which can cause rusting on the steel underneath (just like the steel pennies).

If I remember correctly, Congress recently asked the US Mint to find ways to debase our coins even further, or as they say, to save money. So this may come to pass sooner than we might think.

Not zinc! Perish the thought. I think it's appalling how new cent coins will get scratched and develop plating bubbles and zinc rot. Would much, much rather have a solid alloy coin with no core.

If they were going to go the core route, I would much rather have clad than plated, although clad is still much inferior to solid.

That would be me, among others... also the 1971 Philly nickels do quite well - I have no problem getting $9 for a problem-free roll. And 1970-S rolls are also in demand... $4 or more for a circulated roll.

Getting back to the OP... Actually, the correct answer was "YES"..

Too bad I was busy and missed this... could've made you some money, my friend... but, going forward...

Save the 1960, 1961, 1962, 1963, 1965, 1966, 1967, 1968-D & S, 1969 D & S coins. The only ones you'll want to dump are the 1960-D, 1961-D, 1962-D, 1963-D, 1964, and 1964-D coins... lots of sellers on ebay (and other places) are putting together Jefferson sets these days. I can get a good premium on all of those in rolled form on ebay... usually 2 to 4x face depending on the date... and 1971 Phillys are actually a harder find than any of those.. I usually can get 4.5-5x face for a roll of problem-free ones..

There's simply no market for these very common-date coins, Brandmeister. I'd be lucky to get even $3 for one of those rolls unless it was AU or better. I'd, at best, be breaking even, on those sales after fees and shipping costs (over and above USPS).

Though you love error coins and varieties, the vast majority of collectors (and even moreso on ebay) are much more into collecting coins by date and mintmark... Also, those who put together the sets of coins for sale (1938-1961 and 1962-1995/1996 sets of Jeffersons) have no problems finding those 1960-1964 Denver coins (especially the still ubiquitous '64-Ds, of course).

Well, you partially answered your own question... for the post-1971 through 1999 nickels, it is mainly Uncirculated coins you'll be wanting to save. The following dates carry a significant premium over the other dates from this period in BU+:
1975, 1976, 1976-D, 1977-D, all from 1982-1986 (except 1984-D), 1992-P, 1995-D, 1997-1998 P & D. Strangely, not all of these premiums are due to lower-than-typical mintages.

For 2000 and beyond, everyone here is pretty well aware of the 2009 coins - save all, including damaged ones. But it also isn't a bad idea to stash high grade 2008 and 2010 coins from both mints as their mintages are depressed (about 40-50% of) compared to most of the years around them.

Last night, I actually got a request from an ebay buyer - he wanted to know if I had five rolls of 1969-D nickels I could sell him. I advised him no, and that I only had the one up and a second one which I had just completed... I wish I has that many, as at $5.49 a roll, that would've been a nice little $17.45 or so gross profit for me.
