[QUOTE="TheNickelGuy, post: 1467570, member: 20201"]I don't think the age is nearly as important as the condition. An example : I would rather have a MS65, well struck 1982 - 1983 P or D with 4 to 5 steps in a 2x2 than a small handful of XF 1954 D's any day. Many are keeping nickels dated before 1964 or 1960 simply because they are old with little regard for grade. Unless they are of the more semi-key or key dates, they won't amount to much unless they are of a better die variety, such as a doubled die or repunched mintmark. Some of the 1960's 1970's and 1980's nickels can be quite elusive with excellent strike and details and quite valuable in uncirculated condition. So I keep any Jefferson nickels that are unusual for any given year. Finding a common date 1964 or 1964 D even in AU with 5 steps is a pretty unusual find.[/QUOTE]
