[QUOTE="mikenoodle, post: 295667, member: 307"]I'll give you another example of why nickels. I'll try to give you the Reader's Digest version. This last June I hurt my back and wasn't able to work for a couple of months. ( Remember, I was around almost CONSTANTLY! ;) ) I have 3 kids, 2 of them teenage daughters, so needless to say, I am not a rich man to begin with, and this was definately going to be a financial challenge. I decided that if I was going to collect anything for the immediate future it had to be at or near face value so I started a set of Jeffs from circulation. This week I was only able to get 2 rolls of nickels to search, and inside I found a 52-D and a 42-P war nickel! I also found a 62-D, but I didn't need that one! This has been a great way for me to still enjoy my hobby even on the strictest of budgets. My 2 additions to my book cost me a total of 10¢, and brought me a world of joy! That's why nickels![/QUOTE]
