Did $160 in nickels today just because I knew it would kill 3 or 4 hours searching them. Found three 2009 nickels. I was told I should hold onto those so I guess at the cost of 15 cents, I will as it wont break the bank.

First one I found I think might be from a proof set. It has no mint mark and is pretty damned shiny for its age.

The second I think is an off center error, is it worth keeping or trading in at a coin shop or whatever? Doubt it will be.

Can't be a proof, they weren't made in 1967. The other is either very slightly off center or very slightly misaligned dies, depending on whether or not the reverse is also off center. Either way it is not off enough to add any value.

They did not have proof sets in 67 but they did have special mint sets. Not quite proof but better than regular. Might be that??
