It's his opinion that they are spenders. I see nothing wrong with his statement. In fact, I agree with him (then again, I don't collect nickels).

 

Bro, it is a documented fact that at least some of them are worth over face value.

 

While some of those nickels are probably worth something over face, they pretty much are all spenders because the premium above face is pretty miniscule based on condition. That said, I'd keep them just for the sake of having pre-60's nickels, but that's just me.

 

No, it's a documented opinion that they are worth over face. A question was asked, and an answer was given AS AN OPINION. Like it or not, everyone's entitled to their own opinion. You don't have to believe they're true, but don't call anyone out on their opinions.

 

I agree with my Pi enthusiast friend here. It is your opinion that they are worth over face. Are they? Perhaps. Are they worth the trouble of listing on ebay and seeing how much you can get for some circulated nickels and then hope someone bids on them? Not in my opinion. Either way, it is ultimately up to xGAJx to decide what he wants to do with them.

 

As a nickel collector I can tell you now the coins found do have a value ...they are hole fillers in a circulated set. And there is nothing wrong with that...but in the Jefferson series one must remember the following low mintage, quality coins ,Full steps, Most Jeff's were minted for one thing as a work horse for the monetary system,being the next to the lowers coinage. They were spit out as fast as they could mint them. First strikes were of course better coins,as the dies were struck until they exploded! Denver and San Fran were better strikes as they for the most part had lower mintage's.
Now one must understand that yes it's easy to fill a Jefferson album.....but if you go for high quality coins with FS and from there go into the varieties now you're talking money. The Jefferson Nickel collection was the first coin album I filled as a kid. It was not until years ago could I afford the high dollar nickels and varieties. I still pocket old coins no matter the date IE the 1944 P Lincoln penny...just because it's a WWll era coin. but that date is so common. If you're going to search rolls for date make sure you buy a book on varieties. I recomend two for nickels CPG Cherry pickers guide & the best of Jefferson nickel Varieties . One other good source is the The Jefferson Nickel Analyst By Nagengast. This text breaks down by year the numbers of finding a FS nickel explains the term full step and grading system.
Nickels are fun to collect however gem FS nickels are what every Jefferson collector wants in their collection.

 

Bro, not in their condition.

 

Because you think they are so valuable, I will send you all the circulated pre 60 I find for 50 cents a piece.

 

Bra, homie, G, I never said they were worth much. But something on Ebay. I suppose you think common wheat pennies are spenders? I mean they're only worth like 3-5 cents each from what I hear...

 

I would not sell an individual circulated wheat cent on ebay if it were a common date. Not worth going through the hassle for such a low value coin in my opinion. Buying them IN BULK is a different story. And then, only if they are unsearched for varieties. But I would hardly consider 11 nickels "bulk". Get 50+, and maybe you'll make a little over face selling them on ebay if you get a bidder.

 

You may be right about nickels, but I don't think wheats need to be unsearched.

 

Okay wow this thread went a while without me. Im planning when I have 500+ pre 1959 nickels to sell them in a bulk lot on cointalk or somethin else other than ebay and its fees.

 

You go girl.
