<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Speedy, post: 285673, member: 705&quot;]As acanthite said...it was the early 90&#039;s! I&#039;m not 100% sure on this but I recall hearing that it took a few years for the mint to totally switch and so it is normally said that it was just in the early 90&#039;s.&nbsp; I think one of the last RPM&#039;s that the CONECA files lists though is in the late 70&#039;s.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Out dated...and not that useful. I&#039;m trying to do some research and hopefully one of my jobs to get done is to update that and make it correct. I&#039;ve talked about that to James Wiles and he agrees that it needs updating....maybe I can get him to help with updating it.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you are getting alot of newer coins here are some suggestions:</p><p><br /></p><p>Dropped Letters/numbers</p><p>Rotated Rev</p><p>Copper Wash</p><p>Blank Planchets (TY1 and TY2)</p><p>Die Clashes</p><p><br /></p><p>All of the above can be found right in pocket changes but all of them are pretty rare! If you check out Vareitynickels.com and go to the error part and click on rotated Rev you will see one that a member here on CT just found in change! It was valued at over $100!!!</p><p>Dropped letters are pretty $$ too! Blank Planchets I&#039;m finding sell for nice money also! I think I paid about $25 for a TY1.</p><p>Die clashes aren&#039;t all that $$ but depending on how strong the clash is the value could be a few dollars. There is a copper wash nickel sitting on ebay right now and the seller is asking $495. I doubt that he will get that much for it but who knows!!</p><p><br /></p><p>Speedy[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
