<p>[QUOTE=&quot;nickelsorter2017, post: 3458164, member: 87853&quot;]You are not wrong, but there&#039;s more to the story. In the early 1960s, roll and bag &quot;collecting&quot; started, due to the low purchasing power of 1 and 5 cent coins. This po&#039;ed the government, because it created coin &#039;shortages.&#039; The two types of 1960 1 cent coins set it in motion... 1964 nickels were minted with the date frozen at 1964 into 1965. The government was concerned that there would be shortages of dimes and quarters in 1965... and that meant that the smaller denominations would be substituted by businesses. Hence, 1964 dated non-silver coins, even in UNC, aren&#039;t worth any more than face value if you try to sell them to the average US coin dealer.</p><p><br /></p><p>2009 coins stopped being minted before July 4? and the Mint announced it at the time. Dealers rushed out and hoarded the coins. 2009 dated nickels aren&#039;t worth more than face value if you try to sell them to the average US coin dealer. That said, 2009 dated nickels are harder to find in circulation than 73 years old 1946 dated nickels. Who knew?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
