And they have no extra value BECAUSE so many people hoard them. Same reason why I don't expect the 2005 Buffalo nickels to ever have any value. Ten percent of the ENTIRE mintage was sold directly to collectors and disaapeared into hoards in BU condition. Then there are all the BU and AU coins that collectors and the general public have hoarded because they were different or because they liked the buffalo. It would not surprise me if almost 25% of the entire mintage is sitting in hoards out there in AU or BU condition. Report this Post to the Staff

So, there wasn't ever a "short" supply of either of them to go around..... None of these factors SHOULD warrant a premium IMO. But I must say.....that a good percentage of the "collectors", will have some of these things, not because of some fantastical potential future value, but just simply because "they like them" for their collections. They don't care about "value". Edited by eaglefoot 03/11/2011 11:16 am Report this Post to the Staff
monkeyman67 Valued Member United States 439 Posts	Posted 03/11/2011 11:20 am I think you can look for DDOs or DDRs on them. I was having a conversation yesterday about these very coins. Alot of people saved these thinking they would have some value years down the road. I would have to guess that there are millions upon millions of BU examples. I would throw them in the coin machine. Then again I have about 5 BU rolls in my drawer. Report this Post to the Staff

Same thing I thought back in the 70's. What I didn't realize is the so called future where they would be worth something more than face value is in the year 2458 approximately. And even then, only about $0.26 each. Report this Post to the Staff

That reminds me of the SBA Dollars my grandfather used to take us to the bank to get, they were new and I am only guessing he thought they would be a hot item when we got older, I don't think he expected us to live to be 200 though before they may actually be worth more than face value and then only because people don't know what a coin is and buy it for a curiosity Report this Post to the Staff
