My daughter went to her bank today and deposited her National Guard payroll. As she was there she asked for 4 rolls of nickels for her collection. 3 rolls had a few varieties of pre-64 and 1 1948. However the strange thing was that one complete roll was strickly 1964 with a variety of mints. Wow, I have never seen that before. All were circulated conditions. No Ms or Au. Mostly VFs and below. How much do you ladies and gentlemen believe this roll is worth. It is not in an original wrap, it was in the new shrink wraps. That was the strange part about it.
Check the back of the redbook or maybe Krause, one of them has a listing of what rolls of coins of a certain date are worth.
I agree with Krispy - the roll is worth $2. 1964 is one of the most common dates for nickels. Over 2.8 Billion nickels dated 1964 were struck in 1964 and 1965, the highest mintage until 2000. That's a neat find but I would spend 'em.
I thought it was only worth $2.00 as well. Because I am new, I just wanted a second opinion and for that I thank all of you.
Keep em. If your daughter thinks they are cool, encourage her to keep em. --- Maybe down the road, the experience will have more meaning for her.
You know that is actually a great idea. I never thought of it. I know for a fact that my daughter is keeping a few that are in great shape. What my daughter was thinking of doing also was to donate the rest to the local Boy Scout of America troop so that they can add that to their coin collecting merit badges.
Sweet daughter. Glad you thought keeping them was worth while to consider. It is a simple investment/or perhaps a means to future numismatic efforts. Personally, I think the potential for spec specific stainless steel inventory shortages could affect an influence upon nickel, and more specifically the Extra-Deep-Draw-Quality (EDDQ) type of stainless steel (rich in nickel and chomium). Just a feeling. I no longer work with EDDQ on a daily basis or in procurement.
