<p>[QUOTE=&quot;superc, post: 1624361, member: 44079&quot;]For 30 years (coincidently) both me and my spouse segregated our pocket change every day, dimes in this jar, pennies in that one and nickels in that one, etc.&nbsp; A week ago I decided to go through the potato flake and 30 caliber MG ammo cans and see what we had in terms of 2013 Redbook value.&nbsp; Many disappointing hours resulted in the conclusion I am basically done with US nickels.&nbsp; I set a keep date of 1946 and earlier and dumped over $300 of nickels into the Coinstar (I think I filled it).&nbsp; In 1964 the US Mint went a little funny in the head and minted over 3 Billion nickels.&nbsp; I am still getting them in change today.&nbsp; In truth, I find even the Buffalo nickels to be not generally worth the time to hoard them, if they are in less than mint state.&nbsp; </p><p>Similar with pennies.&nbsp; I have several fruit cake cans full of pennies, all Memorial coins.&nbsp; I was going to sort them by copper vs. non-copper, but I don&#039;t see a real collector market for the copper ones on Ebay, so they will probably go Coinstar too.</p><p>Truth be told I have had homemade rolls of wheat pennies sitting on Ebay with no takers, so I think I may Coinstar them too.&nbsp; Waste of years to hoard something no one wants.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
