Back in 2011 and also now in 2017 I got rolls of those new nickels from the bank. 2011 was kind of ok, but many went into circulation... same with 2017 but they were in worse shape... dings, hits, etc. Of a full box of the 2017 from Loomis, (which rolls also sometimes have a stray older, like 2000 so I think there were stray coins left in the hopper or whatever when Loomis added all the new 2017D ones) I have yet to find one that is really acceptable that might grade 64+ or 65, because of hits. They are fully lusterous, but the handling and machinery is definitely taking a toll. The Jefferson portrait seems to really attract hits and scuffs, even more so than the reverses Monticello. I have only opened four 2017D rolls but I think if I am lucky I might find one or two nickels that escape big or nasty looking hits enough to grade a MS65. Out of 50 rolls. You do the math as to whether the newer ones are going to grade well after shipping and rolling. I think it will be scarce to rare for superior ones.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am concerned that if I open the 2009 rolls I will have wasted my money, and not get any really nice ones.
