1867-1967 - (Rabbits)
1937, 1942, 1947 (Young king)
1932 - (King)
1970 (low mintage)
what are these years worth?
I started collecting Nickels and have been picking these older Nickels out. Edited by Coinage

Ok, lets start by saying that this is hard unless you can see a picture. How well the details and pristine the coin is of coarse is key. Nothing really wows me just by looking at the dates.
Im looking at a recent trend report,and Ill quote the better grades, grades that I think most people would buy for their collection as there would typically be no need to buy filler coins for these common dates.You can kind of gauge yourself the values of the grades that fall in between
when need be.If you got anything there that no doubt hits a MS grade let me know.
Centennial Rabbit?-AU to the beginning of the MS scale-30 cents to 40 cents tops.
1937- Does it have a dot after the date?-Most likley-VF20 to AU50 scale-$1.50 to $6.00
1942-Is it made from a tombac (brown alloy) or is indeed nickel?-Ill assume its nickel-VF20 to AU50-1.50 to $10.00
1947-Does it have a dot or a maple leaf after the date? The dot is worth tons more.(VG8 starts at 20 bucks) Ill assume its a maple leaf-VF20-AU50 .75 to $6.00
1932-........VF20-$6.00, EF40-$22.00, AU50-$60.00
1970-VF20 .30 EF40 .35 MS63 $41.00 Your right low mintage of only 5 million but it really doesn't come into play at a value level. FYI, 1969 had a mintage of 27 mil, 1971 mintage of 27 mil as well.

Assuming they all have been in circulation since they were made, rough pricing would be:
15 cents ==> 1867-1967 - (Rabbits)
35 to 50 cents ==> 1937, 1942, 1947 (Young king)
35 to 75 cents ==> 1932 - (King)
50 cents ==> 1970 (low mintage)

I thought the Rabbits would be worth more, since they are so easily identifiable that when people see them in change, they pick it out right away. Tough to find those Rabbits. However, my goal is to get a box of Rabbits.

I guess the thing with the 67 coins is that a lot of people put them away at the time. The rabbit nickels I find are usually in very good shape for their age, which makes me think they were released back into circulation only recently.
I was a bit more surprised that even circulated 1970 nickels would command that much of a premium. I'll have to look through my nickel hoard and see what I've got.

PSI,
If you are an average collector that is just filling an album with sub-MS pieces then 1925, 1926, 1948 and 1970 are often the empty spots in your album.
I noticed the same thing, a lot of MS-like 1967 rabbits in circulation recently. Somebody must have broken a BU roll and started spending rabbits.
Both 1970 5 cents and 10 cents coins are incredibly hard to find in circulation.
If I am lucky I can find maybe one 1970 nickel out of $200 worth of rolls.
I find 10 silver dimes for every 1970 dime I find.

I'm hording 1970 Nickels, I'm up to 2 now. :) The rabbit coins are in very nice condition... I was actually surprised how great condition these nickels were, they really held up over the years.
