<p>[QUOTE="cladking, post: 642766, member: 68"]All the pre-1960 nickels do survive in large numbers in mint state or in high circulated grades. Of course some of the low mintahe dates are not excessively common in unc but their prices reflect this and you're unlikely to have or spend something like the '39-D in any condition. </p><p><br /></p><p>The later dates though aren't necessarily as widely available in unc. But more importantly is that they are virtually unavailable in high circulated grades. Finding nice attractive XF or AU post 1964 nickels can be extremely tough. High grade nickels from the 30's and 40's can still be found (and might be worth saving) but try getting an '82-P above nice well made XF. Finding it in change is tough, there are very few collections, and most coin shops won't even be able to help you.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
