<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cladking, post: 217948, member: 68&quot;]There will be wholesale destruction of these coins Before too many years.&nbsp; Most of the coins</p><p>will not be checked for dates, condition or varieties, they will simply be destroyed.&nbsp; This may </p><p>not matter much to a coin like a VG &#039;39-D or a VF &#039;46-S since they&#039;re gone from change but it </p><p>might have a sigificant impact on some of the coins that were never pursued by collectors.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>There&#039;s no chance that any coin will be made scarce by the coming destruction because mint-</p><p>ages have been enormous and a nickel is so little money that some people will just keep them</p><p>as souvenirs, but there are coins that will be much tougher than people think.&nbsp; Coins like 1973</p><p>are not extremely common in BU rolls and very few have been pulled from circu;lation over the</p><p>years.&nbsp; The mintage is low enough that they are not easily found in change and they&#039;re so old</p><p>now that most are worn and unattractive.&nbsp; This will mean many get destroyed.&nbsp; Even the small </p><p>numbers in BU rolls won&#039;t protect the coins because demand is low for later coins.&nbsp; Many better</p><p>BU rolls sell for less than current melt right now so even the rolls will be destroyed.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>It might or might not be a good idea to save nickels that are worth a dime now but there are </p><p>definitely some chances to get some pretty good coins cheap.&nbsp; Try finding a nice attractive &#039;73</p><p>in XF or better.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
