Message:: [QUOTE="E Burna, post: 1392343, member: 36735"]First post here guys. Been searching through rolls about the past month just from bits and pieces I've learned via the internet. This site is great by the way. I apologize as I'm sure this has been asked SOMEWHERE before but the info here is overwelming to a newbie. My question is about nickels. I know that 1942-1945 with the mint mark above the building (montecello?) on the back are the 'silver' or 'war' nickels and I should go after those. I'm also aware of the low print runs for any nickel (or dime for that matter) from 2009 so keep those if I find them. Obviously buffalo heads as well are collectible. and 1950-d. (haven't found even 1 of those) but I was wondering about the jefferson nickels with the 's' insignia? I've read they are from silver proof sets, but yet they are not silver? Is this correct? Are they something worth keeping? I have some that are very very shiny. 1969, 1970, 1980 I believe... maybe one more will have to check but I do know for a fact I pulled a 1980 s that is EXTREMELY shiny, as well as a 1970 s that's pretty bright as well. For those of you who care... in sorting approximately $400-$500 I'm guessing of nickels, I've found 3 buffalo heads, 7 war nickels, and 6 from 2009... now these shiny s coins are coming along (and still no 1950d either) and I'm not sure. Am I missing out on anything else I should be looking for as well? Thanks for reading guys![/QUOTE]
