[QUOTE="tommybee, post: 974275, member: 24999"]I have purchased ten boxes of nickels. I've gone through half of them looking for V's and Buffaloes, War Nix and pre-1960. I don't cash them in. They go into my safe. When I search a box of cents I pull all the pre-1982's. Nickels and pre-1982 cents are the only "real" money presently in circulation. Copper and Nickel will continue to increase in price. Even if they don't lift the melt bans on cents and nickels, I can see people selling them by the roll in the future. Just like silver junk is sold now. Cent and nickel composition are going to be changed. Hell, cents may be discontinued in the near future. Nickels are great because you don't even have to sort them if you don't want to. They are all 75% copper and 25% nickel. Worst case scenario a box will always be worth the $100 you paid for it. Its a no brainer. Its also fun. I anticipate selling rolls for present compositon nickels for 5x face in 10-15 years. Maybe even more. Could I be wrong? Absolutely![/QUOTE]
