<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dak, post: 220250, member: 8504&quot;]Ok, this section seems to be lacking a little in interest lately.. I am hoping to change that, if nothing else&nbsp; I will be posting in here frequently! First off Why Nickels??? Why Not??? I love NICKELS!&nbsp; They are a interesting coin with plenty of varieties to search out that are profitable to sell, they are cheap to obtain, the coin itself if nothing else is worth more than face value as the price of metal rises, the nickel has melt value of nearly 10 cents currently!</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Old coins are possible to find in rolls at a steady pace, SILVER INCLUDED! Other than Cents they are the only other denomination that you can frequently find older coins when roll searching. Case in point... Today I go the bank I used to work at and was greeted with &quot;We got new nickels for you!!&quot; Ahhh music to my ears!!! SO I buy the case of nickels, all $100 worth and bring them homefor this weeks roll searching! Well I dig into them tonight, first sealed bank roll I pull a 39D in fine + condition the second rarest jefferson nickel (aside from varieties and errors) Dang I said its gonna be a good night!! A couple rolls later, I pull out a roll from the box, just a typical looking rolled at home roll with &quot;squashed&quot; ends that some bank patron had turned in. I open and gleaming right at me is a nicely toned 1958 (P) I mean in BU condition a good solid ms63 any day of the week! my heart pounds as I dump the roll, THE WHOLE ROLL IS BU 1958 (P) A few even real close to Full Steps, but not quite... my luck wasn&#039;t quite that good!!</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; I finished up about an hour ago and had gone through 20 rolls.... I have found 168 coins pre 1960 and even found a 1945-P SILVER nickel today!! Now this was a good night by any roll searchers standard, but I&#039;m happy to report that this is almost typical of my nickel searching! ( Now I still have to go through these individualy, I&#039;ll search for varieties, RPM&#039;s Doublings, Heck if a die crack is interesting&nbsp; I keep it, point is I think nickels have been overlooked for way to long and its because of this that there are so many good ones, just waiting to be found.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; I hope to become extensively involved in drawing interest to nickels. we got a great forum to interact on LETS USE IT!!! Please share your finds, I&#039;d love to congratulate you on them! I&#039;m a nickel nut and hope there are a few more nickel nuts out there who want to share the hobby! OK my rant is over!! Welcome to Variety Nickels!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
