<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bacchus, post: 64693, member: 759&quot;]I read in the new <i>Coin World </i>that 936,000,000 of the Bison nickels were produced, and of that number about 90,000,000 were sold directly from the Mint in rolls or bags.&nbsp; The article also said that relatively few of the circulated coins are being ... circulated; that is, some parts of the country never see the new nickels in change.&nbsp; And, we’ve all read about the quality of the nickels.</p><p><br /></p><p>If we assume that the roll and bag coins are mostly being hoarded for investment, and most of the circulated coins are just plain being hoarded, I would think that there are going to be a <b>lot </b>of these coins in MS or AU shape five, ten, fifteen years from now.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>That leads me to believe that the only significant appreciation these coins are going to show in the next fifty years are 1) sales of rolls on eBay to the less informed, and 2) very high grade MS samples.</p><p><br /></p><p>I suppose I’m restating the obvious, but hey, I’m just a beginner trying to find my way around.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
