<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cdb1950, post: 30756, member: 1735&quot;]The collectable Jefferson nickels include any of the silver wartime issues, identified by the large mintmark over the dome of Monticello on the back.&nbsp; These are worth about 3-4 times face value because of the silver content.&nbsp; Also, some of the earlier dates, 1938 - 1939 are collectable, usually from 25c to $1.&nbsp; In addition, any 1939 with a mintmark is a semi-key date, even circulated, and is worth anywhere from about 75c to a couple dollars.&nbsp; The 1950-D is also a semi-key date, but you probably won&#039;t find any in circulation.&nbsp; Just about all of these were snapped up by collectors immediately after they were minted and almost the entire mintage is still uncirculated.</p><p><br /></p><p>The dateless Buffalo nickels have a retail value of about 15c to 35c each.&nbsp; You might want to check the reverse to see if you have any Type I reverses of 1913.&nbsp; Even dateless, these can bring a small premium, especially the mintmarked pieces.&nbsp; The Type I reverses shows the buffalo standing on a hump or mound, while the Type II reverses show the buffalo standing on a flat line or plain.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for the rest of your circulated Jefferson nickels, go ahead and spend them.&nbsp; Lets the young collectors find cool old nickels in circulation.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
