    minimum cost for nickels dated 1938 to 1961 is 0.25 each or $10.00 for a roll of 40 coins.

    minimum cost for pennies dated 1909 to 1958 (wheat cent) is .06 each or $3.00 for a roll of 50 coins.

    minimum cost for pennies (indianhead) is 0.14 each.

    Bruce - don't waste your time. You'll pay 25 cents each for a bunch of coins you can buy anywhere else for 10 cents each - or less.

    Minimum cost would really be $2.00 for a roll of 40 coins. All it takes is a trip to the bank and a little searching.

    Absolutely. Searching face value bank rolls for nice coins is one of the best parts of collecting.

    Roll searching is fun, but there is something to be said for a beautiful matched set of MS jeffersons, of course none of those can be purchased out of any magazine, they've got to be hand picked

    Hey everyone. Please note the word minimum. Everyone jumped on Tracy5900 for repeating some dumb add. Also, no mention of the condition of the coins. Could be worn smoth enough to be unrecgonizable.

    minimum cost

    the jeffferson nickels now cost $0.066 each in term of bullion value. that's means a roll of 40 coin cost $2.64. if the roll is uncirculated. the dealers will bid $2.90 and ask $3.15. and the maximun retail price should reached $4.20 for the common date roll.

    I am confused. (this happens alot with me)

    Are you talking about having the nickels as bullion, or as collectible coins?

    You mentioned the nickel's current bullion value, and then say 'if the roll is uncirculated.' If they are for bullion, why does it matter if they are uncirculated? And why would you pay a premium for the older nickels when they are the same metal content (except war nickels) as the current nickels you can get at face value from the bank?

    Are you talking about the copper + nickel value? Maybe so, but I doubt you will ever find anyone to buy at that price when they can go to any bank and get a roll for $2.00.

    Ah yes but if you keep going to a bank and buy hundreds of rolls each time and eventually end up with 5 or 6 tons of them you could take them to a metal recycler and maybe get a few dollars more than you invested. One minor detail is that the price of gas for a truck to take it there would ofset any monitary gains. Now if you buy a blast furnace and smelt it yourself you could then sell it as pure metal to ?? That is another problem.

    lowest price for nickel roll is $4.50

    the lowest price that we can buy from a dealer for a uncirculated nickel roll is around $4.50. from 1938 to present. westward journel nickels seems cheaper.
