<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lordmarcovan, post: 2990228, member: 10461&quot;]Unfortunately not- they struck 178,851,645 nickels at Philadelphia in 1963.&nbsp; That&#039;s nothing like the huge mintages in 1964, when Philly and Denver each crossed the billion-coin mark, but it&#039;s a very common coin.&nbsp; Per <a href="http://www.numismedia.com/cgi-bin/coinprice.cgi?script=jefnkl&amp;searchtype=any&amp;searchtext=fmv&amp;search=any&amp;nmcode=12117100&amp;guide=prices&amp;guide2=pricesms" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.numismedia.com/cgi-bin/coinprice.cgi?script=jefnkl&amp;searchtype=any&amp;searchtext=fmv&amp;search=any&amp;nmcode=12117100&amp;guide=prices&amp;guide2=pricesms" rel="nofollow">Numismedia</a>, the value doesn&#039;t go above the baseline of six cents until you reach the Mint State grades, and even up to MS62 it&#039;s still worth less than a quarter.&nbsp; I&#039;d call that an AU coin, so you&#039;ve got a coin essentially worth face value, there.</p><p><br /></p><p>All that being said, that one is pretty nice for a 55-year-old nickel found in a roll hunt.&nbsp; I can see why it caught your eye.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sometimes a find will score a zero on the premium (i.e., be worth only face value), but score higher on the &quot;fun&quot; scale.&nbsp; Everybody&#039;s &quot;fun&quot; scale is different.</p><p><br /></p><p>Better luck next time!&nbsp; Keep hunting![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
