most people don't worry about the 1964 with a billion minted but the rest are cool

 

I save all the 1964 nickels i come across. Sure they are common, but i save all 64 and older nickels.


I usually find a lot from the 50's in circulation, but once in a while get one from the 40's. Cents and nickels are the best way to find old stuff. Wheats are common and jeffersons have looked the same since '38 so not many check the dates on them

 

to tell you the truth I would rather 2007 bu rolls. The mint no longer offers business strike nickels in mint set or in rolls.

 

found 39d,38d jeff, and 18,36,37 cents today.

 

i actually got a 1964 in my change at mcdonalds the other day. =)

 

i am saving the 1965 and older nickels i find because since everyone is looking for the 1959 and older, in a few years they will be looking for those in the 1960's, and i will have lots of them. the average pre 1960 for nickels is 1 in every 2 rolls. nice finds! i like doing nickels because people don't know which nickels are old. with the cents, people see the wheat back and keep it. in nickels, a 1940 looks the same as a 1995.

 

hmmm good point very true.

 

That was a very good day!
