If a 1942 nickel has no mint mark, or a small one to the right of the building on the reverse, it is made of nickel. If it has a large mint mark...
It is worth about $1.60 US at the current exchange rate, so don't complain too much. I'll trade you clad US halves for $2 Canadians for any time ;)
I got ten rolls of nickels from the bank this afternoon, and wound up with eight being machine rolled 2005 Bison (P) in I am assuming uncirculated...
I guess he was trying not to burst your bubble. 1964 nickels are not at all scarce in circulation, even these days. This is because that year was...
Rather than a popsicle stick, use a ruler, so you can use the measurements to make sure it is centered. Clear plastic rulers work best (IMHO).
I found a 1939 Nickel in F-XF a couple of days ago. It must have been hiding out somewhere for all of these years. My most unusual find was a...
I had a nice find while searching ten rolls of nickels on Saturday--a 1939 in F-XF condition. I have never fished a nickel from circulation minted...
How many rolls did you have to search to find two war nickels? I have only found two in the last 150 rolls I have searched.
I did 800 nickles over the weekend, and the only thing worth writing about was a 1943-S (silver). This is my second silver nickel in the last...
I was getting down on searching rolls recently--my last twenty nickel rolls only yielded five coins earlier than 1960--1948, 1948-D, 1957, 1958-D,...
Currently working on a set of Jefferson Nickels from 1938-1961 from circulation (have finished the 1962-present set). Been working on this for a...
I just picked up some $2 bills at the bank today. I asked for as many as they had in consecutive sequence (I figured they were more likely to be...
This must be a branch-by-branch, or person-by-person thing at Wachovia. I bank at Wachovia in North carolina, and have not had any problem getting...
I usually ask for the rolls with the good stuff, but it doesn't seem to help much. For the last few weeks, I have been checking 20-30 rolls of...
I have bought them from Coast to Coast Coins. The 2005 mintage is currently selling from $9.25.
1974 Jefferson Nickel in EF/AU Not a significant date, but in great condition for a thirty-plus year old coin, from circulation. It was the...
How many do you need? The 1985 dates should not be hard from circulation--get a bunch of coin rolls from the bank, as has been suggested. The...
Mint marks on Jeffersons were on the reverse through 1964, moving to the obverse in 1965. At about 1.8 billion minted, I believe your 1964-D is...
I found a 1991-S nickel in a bank roll today. I'm not sure how many of those are in circulation, so that may be the rarest coin i have found yet ;)
I picked up 4 uncirculated rolls at the bank last Thursday. I always ask the tellers if they have anything new, and that is what they had for me...
