1950 And 1959 Unc Nickels

Well, I certainly didn't overpay for them. While I was in high school I worked at Taco Bell and came into work one day and when I popped the cash register drawer open, I was shocked to see the entire drawer filled with shiny 1950-1974 coins. I traded out all the ones in the drawer for cash, and bought all the unopened ones from the safe. There were many silver dimes and it makes me cringe to imagine how many had already been given out as change. It is my thought that someone traded in their coin collection to the bank. I will check my 1969 and 1970 ones and try to upload a picture. They're in much better condition than these two I posted, I can almost clearly see my reflection in them.

well handle with care .... welcome to the forum and DON'T clean your coins!

It appears that somebody must have been looking at nickels with a serious eye if you have mostly 5 steps on those coins from the San Francisco mint as they are rather difficult to find too. Not near as hard as the D's but quite scarce.

I suppose that 2x2 cardboard mounts with the windows will be fine. If you have super examples tho, you might put them in a AirTite. I use quarter size 2x2 for nickels to show the rims. I always go a size higher with 2x2's.
Here is a completely random auction for AirTites so you know what I am talking about. I don't condone or warn about the seller. I never bought from them. [eBayItem]160457079651[/eBayItem]
I would have to guess if you have three rolls of nickels. Not all of them deserve an AirTite because of the cost. Use a 10X magnifier and look them over holding them by the edges. Don't breath on the coins or sneeze on them. They will get spots. I usually wipe the 2X2 inside over my T shirt to get dust off the inside. The AirTites should come dust free if you get them shipped right. Put your very best examples in the better holders. The AirTites can then be stored inside plastic flips that have two pockets. One for the coin and one for a cardboard insert to write on.
Nickels and Copper coins are more susceptible to spots from moisture. Sneezing, sweat, breathing on them will leave spots on the surface over time so handle them with care.Once you have them protected, store them in a dry environment that stays relatively the same cool room temperature and low humidity year round.

The gold tint is called toning. Toning can be a good thing, but not always. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. It can increase or decrease the value of a coin. AirTites will stop and arrest toning. 2X2's will not. Be careful stapling 2X2 holder. Some staplers overhang will overlap the window and damage the coin when you close it.
