<p>[QUOTE=&quot;toned_morgan, post: 3456905, member: 97258&quot;]Basically, it seems that half of the planchets for 2009 were taken for 1964. The mintages for 1964 are significantly higher, and for 2009 they are significantly lower (still in the billions, but relatively lower) because of the crash. I think 1964 might have been to annoy collectors.</p><p><br /></p><p>The back story to that is that in 1964, as you may know, they announced that coins for 1965 would not be made of silver because the price of silver was rising, and it was becoming to expensive to make silver coins anymore. So collectors got angry, quite obviously, and complained a lot until the mint announced that mint marks would not exist anymore from 1965 to 1967, just to p*ss the community off even more. So I&#039;m guessing they might have made the mintages for 1964 nickels higher so that there was no chance of them being rare, just to further annoy coin collectors. If I&#039;m wrong, please correct me.</p><p><br /></p><p>Very nice finds though![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
