    Maybe, but I don't think so. It doesn't look like it ever had squared rims, at least to me.

    Its VERY difficult to find old Jeffersons in circulation with any steps at all.
    That's why I mentioned the possibility of a proof coin.

    Six wheat pennies along with five Canadian pennies were found from a bank box. Also, with verification please, I might have scored my first 1960 (P) small date Lincoln. Opinions welcomed!

    Question for those who hunt nickels;

    For years, I've been keeping any nickel older than 1961, figuring that was the last year of the Whitman folder for the first set of Jeffersons. I've now filled up a decent sized jar of them (and still haven't filled out the Whitman).

    What do you all do with the extra Jeffersons you've pulled from circulation that are pre-1961?

    Thanx

    Don't know actually but hold onto those War Nickels and Henning Nickels. ;)
    The rest? I would cash them in for something really nice and for you, something else nice. :woot:

    Hey @afm1982 - over the last 30 years I have whittled down what I keep of the early Jeffersons. Originally, I kept them all, but now no more than 5 of each date/mint (except for the silver of course). My thought is if there are more than that out there, they aren't that uncommon. I keep the ones closest to mint state, and any errors or oddities go in a 2x2. The rest get rolled up and recycled. With Lincolns, I keep all of the pre 82s as they are worth more in copper than face, about 3¢ each, but nickels only have about 4¢ of copper.

    Here are my nickels of all types that did not make the albums.
