[QUOTE="LakeEffect, post: 24661301, member: 43201"]I believe nickels dated 1964 were minted in 1965 and 1966 as well, boosting the numbers. There was a coin shortage, either real or perceived, and silver was being removed from circulating coinage, which only made things worse. The mint viewed collectors as the villains, so they adopted a policy of making coins less collectable. That's the short version anyway.[/QUOTE]
