Interested in your results on CL. I have not done nickels for a while but searched many boxes last month and gave up on the pre-1960s. I still kept all 40s and 38, 39s. I kept seeing posts about people always keeping the pre 60s so I thought I would to, but after looking at 100s of ebay closings on these lots, it seemed like I was tying up alot of money for something that had no premium. Maybe in distant future, but for now, only the war nickels were worth keeping. (I know a couple key dates in there have a small premium)

I believe 3 boxes of dimes is $750...unless you get massive $2500 boxes. That would be fun way to ruin your back with a 125lbs of dimes
