I would keep 55 and older. That is me. You can still find plenty of the years after that.

I keep 1959 and older, but I don't make a major priority out of it. I don' tsee any demand, and no reason for demand to pick up much in the future.

NIckel's just don't excite me.

I do the same. If I don't want to anymore, it's an easy dump.

All types of BFOs owned. Especially want White's Arrow; White's Oremaster; Exanimo Spartan Little Monster; Garrett contract Little Monster.
High grade 1958 and earlier (look for the triangle roof on the porch) and all 1955 and earlier. Triangle is the pickup point for XF coins and 1955 is the earliest year that is listed in grades below XF. siegfried schlagrule

What is every one doing with theirs?
I had several older rolls of nickels (no silver ones) and made the mistake of putting them on ebay. I think I split it up into 4 auctions and I lost money on every one. No one was bidding so people went in and bid .99¢ on 2 rolls and won. >:(

Right now I have several rolls of buffalos (most are no date) and have not decided what to do. I certainly will not release them into the wild.

cyberdan next time that happens bid against them or have someone else bid on your item so you don't sell at such a low price. Either that or put a reserve price on the item. That can turn people off though.

wholesale on clean slick buffalos is 14 cents each. Multiply by 40 for cost. Add shipping. regards, ss
