Just keep the pre 1960 unless you find proofs and just take any other Nickels and throw them back towards your bankroll to get more to search.
Unless its a war nickel, buffalo nickel, liberty nickel, or a nice ms au example of a pre 60 I'd toss them. If I kept every pre 60 I find I'd have a straight hoard.
<<<<<<<<<<<<<< hoarder i guess being it is your collection, it's about what YOU want. i have noticed if you try to collect to much at one time then you run out of room pretty quick
Keep 'em all. Haha. Just kidding. I would keep the 40s ones and 50s, only the sixties ones if you are filling in a coin folder or something. Good luck with future searching!
I pulled ten rolls from my nickel stash and searched through them. I actually found a 1945-S War Nickel. Also found a 1941 (pre-silver), a few late 1940's and some 1950's. I'm not a coin collector, but, will set these coins aside.
Agreed. If it isn't at least EF AND pre 1959 I no longer bother with the Jefferson nickels (except for the silver ones of course). I used to (for 30 years) horde them all for the nickel in them, then Congress banned melting them, so I dumped most of them.
