[QUOTE="Mr. Flute, post: 2135229, member: 33154"]Nope, littlehugger. The metal 'value' of a US 5 cent coin is only about 4 cents right now (78% of face value). Now if you want a nickel with good 'value' save all the pre-82 Canadian 5 cents you come across because they are worth 5.9 cents each (118% of face value), since they are 99% nickel as opposed to the 25% nickel/75% copper composition of the US 5 cent. And I presume a single metal coin composition also has better aftermarket 'value' since there is minimal or no refining required.[/QUOTE]
