So I've been CRHing maybe 6 weeks and have done about 7 boxes of pennies and loving it but I decided I wanted to look at something different so I picked up a box of nickels. The box, and I mean the whole box (ok minus MAYBE 50 cents), is all 2013 D and in what I would call AU-50 condition for the most part. I'm going through each coin and my plan was to keep the very best in rolls (I'm about half way thru the box and have 2 rolls) and just dump the rest back...my question is, with this many of the same year/mint in this good of condition is it worth keeping the whole box? I got this pick off the net (minus the doubling of course) but it represents about 50% of what I've got and the rest look better.
It's not going to be worth more than a nickel for 50 years. Perhaps if you had a few really super high graded coins (MS-68, etc.) that might have value. I wouldn't get my hopes up on a 2013-D Jeff nickel. To give an example, I got a 1954-D nickel today. It is over 60 years old, and it is worth, 5 cents. (If it was in great condition, then there is a slight premium. But no one is buying 1954-D Jeffersons.) Happy hunting.
