I think some one should start a rumer that they are rare or the price is rising for them (haha) so posibly some of them could find their way out of circulationand there would be a better chance for finding other dates. the next time i get a box of nickels i am going to keep count of them and posibly return a few rolls of all 1964s back into circulation. wvrick   12-16-2006, 12:13 AM   #2 (permalink) Check_M_All Senior Member   Join Date: Oct 2006 Location: Gettysburg, PA Posts: 248 It's not your imagination. There were over 1 billion nickels minted for 1964. I can only think of one mixed date roll that I have ever opened that did not have any 1964s in it.   12-16-2006, 03:55 AM   #3 (permalink) xeno108 Senior Member     Join Date: Oct 2005 Posts: 433 It always gets me excited because they look old... but then... it's just a dumb 64   12-16-2006, 08:35 AM   #4 (permalink) acanthite ALIIS DIVES     Join Date: Oct 2006 Location: Western hemisphere Posts: 1,880 My Mood: Quote: Originally Posted by xeno108 It always gets me excited because they look old... but then... it's just a dumb 64 Ditto. They're EVERYWHERE. Hard to imagine that the incredibly high mintage isn't related to the dime/quarter clad changeover in 1965. Anticipation of hoarding?   12-16-2006, 08:53 AM   #5 (permalink) Dockwalliper Coin Hoarder     Join Date: Oct 2003 Location: Tonawanda, New York Posts: 986 Quote: Originally Posted by acanthite Ditto.

Thats exactly the reason for the high mintage. __________________ BNA #539   12-16-2006, 11:32 AM   #6 (permalink) Treashunt The Other Frank     Join Date: Oct 2006 Location: New York Posts: 17,759 Quote: Originally Posted by acanthite Ditto.

Hoarding, plus the Congress mandated that the Mint keep the 1964 date for an extended period, about an extra six months. And, yes, to prevent or discourage hoarding. __________________ The Other Frank "Buy The Book Before The Coin!"

Not a bad idea. Maybe I'll save up to buy some gold, using all 1964 nickels to make the purchase... __________________ Speak the truth, do not become angered, and give when asked, even be it a little.
