Thanks guys. I was very surprised too. And all this from a brinks box. Was starting to wonder if it was someones collection that got cashed in. I am going back tomorrow to get another box of nickels. let hope there are more key dates.

Excuse my ignorance here...but what is the significance of the pre 1960 nickels? I know about the War Nickels, and Buffalos, but what about the others?

 

[captainfwiffo]

All the low-mintage ones that are harder to find happen to be pre-1960, as are many of the varieties worth searching for. It's really an arbitrary dividing line, but as good as any.

 

[papa1956e9]

I save all pre-1960 Nickels. You can sell them online (in mixed rolls) or at coin shops (usually only the low minted ones).

That was a NICE box - I only save the pre 1950 nickels myself and the ones I need for my book. Perhaps I need to get a list of other low mintages to look for (like the 1950d I still need!).
