<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dmin, post: 69518, member: 3245&quot;]I guess he was trying not to burst your bubble. 1964 nickels are not at all scarce in circulation, even these days. This is because that year was one of the largest (if not the largest) minting of nickels ever. I believe the combined mintage from Philadelphia and Denver was 2.8 billion--about 10-20 times the norm from that period (I don&#039;t have any reference books at work, but I think the numbers are close enough). I assume this was because people knew that silver coins were being phased out the next year, and the mint was producing the only coin that people wouldn&#039;t hoard.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
