Unopened bags of them were melted in 1980, and it's still common.   There will tens of millions of these around in a 100 years, just no potential.   Some things aren't worth saving like rolls of 1964 halves in 1964, 1976 $2 bills in 1976.   Remember 1973-s silver proof Ikes were a $100 + item in the 70's... not now   50-d nickels were hyped up, 55-s cents and dimes, the list goes on...   All those state quarter rolls will never be anything, too common   How would you like to be sitting on bags of 1964 nickels since 1964 ?   Save something that's rare   for example any half cent is rarer than an 09-s VDB.  Look in any coin paper, every dealer ( almost) has one or more.   In 100 years those modern coins probably wont cost more than 5X face value, unless it's for the copper in them.[/QUOTE]
