<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Check_M_All, post: 163000, member: 6661&quot;]An uncirculated roll will only command a premium if being resold to a collector.

In time the quarter and half dollar will find themselves in the same place, though the dime will take much longer with its small size compared to its face value.</p><p><br /></p><p>Aluminum is still cheap enough to coin below face value, but that also would change in time. Steel is very cheap and might make a good option. It&#039;s been about a year since I&#039;ve taken steel in for recycling, but if I remember correctly, I got less than $4.00 for 100lbs. </p><p><br /></p><p>My thought is that if you can afford not to spend your nickels and you have room to save them... it can&#039;t hurt. Worst case is the melt never comes and you&#039;ve got a bunch of nickels saved up that you can cash in... Given inflation, it&#039;s fair to change Mr. Franklin&#039;s quote to a nickel saved is a nickel earned. Not quite so bad, the melt comes and you cash in by having your nickels melted. Stellar, you became a guardian of the newest rare coin and have built a nice collection that you can cash in on by providing these coins to collectors who have long overlooked and find it difficult to obtain them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
