 Never seen a 2008 Nickel? Wow. I just cashed a roll in here a couple of months ago. Got them from the bank. cracked them open and never thought of them being scarce. Goes to show what I know.  |

dnickels, Just looked at your info; noticed that you are Lex KY too! Truth is, it's a big city; hopefully there are plenty of nickels to go around!  |

Maybe the "vanishing nickels" are just due to collectors hoarding. I have been pulling every pre-1960 Jefferson I've encountered from circulation since 1972. (I figure I am not alone) Recently I started pulling pre 1964 (way to many 1964 minted). I don't encounter as many 40's or 50's as I used to.  |

Are both mints scarce for the 2008 nickel or is one more scarce than the other?

I have not seen either one in circulation, so I would say both are scarce!

I got a '59 D yesterday. Pretty bad condition, but it filled a spot in my album! I've also been seeing a lot of newer stuff in recent rolls.

I picked up a box of nickels yesterday. I got excited when the first 5 rolls yielded 2 silver.  But the last 45 rolls only yielded 1.  I also got probably 2 rolls of pre 1963 including one very, very nice 1962. It also yielded a 2008 p&d. So I am happy to say my Jefferson set is now caught up. |

I've seen quite a few 2008 nickels in the recent roll hunting I've been doing.

Just to up-date my April 27 post: I still have never seen a 2008 nickel. Have looked through probably 500 since the last post.

Where do you live GaryBurke where there are no 2008 nickels ? Here in south Florida I get about 6 or 8 in every roll. Many more P mints than D.

I,too, was having a problem filling my hole in the Dansco for my 2008 D nickel after searching many rolls.  Yesterday I went through 2 rolls and one of them had 20 2008 D nickels! I was shocked.  Still haven't seen any 2009 nickels, dimes, or pennies in circulation or at banks. |

I just went through LOTS of rolls of nickels. I found hundreds of 08s and have been finding them consistently in each box I'm opening. I've also found one bank that has rolls of BU 2008 D nickels.
