  1. Nickel with planchette stuck to it (?)

    Hello, I recently found this coin in a drawer not metal detenting. It is a 2007 Jefferson Nickel, with what appears to be a copper planchette (coin blank) attached to it. I ran it under the Equinox 600 and it chimed in at 12-13 vdi, which is Jefferson Nickel territory on the Minelab. I saw a...

    Well it seems like my theme currently is back-up so that's the title. About a week ago I sent my X-terra 705 off to get a new LCD screen because a couple of the lights were acting up. So that put me to have g to run my back-up detector which is my old X-terra 305 (good machines). Unfortunately I...

  5. War Nickel Die Crack?

    I did a box of nickels today and came out with some pretty cool stuff. First off, I got 2 2009-Ds and a couple of 1939s. I also got my first 1939-s which is a key date (6.6 million made)! What may possibly be the best find is this 1943-p war nickel that I found within the first ten rolls. I...
  6. Nickel Hunt of a Life Time

    On Friday, I went out for my usual rounds at the bank and picked up $20 in nickels along with $50 in halves. I didn't have a whole lot of cash to spend so I kept the amounts low.

  13. Nickels?

    Are Nickels good to go through? Is it worth it? If they are, what should I be looking for or be looking to keep. I've seen a few people with their nickel logs on here, but I wasn't sure if it would be good to get into as well or not.

But before I send some of them back into the wild, I wanted to see if any of you fellow collectors...

    Anyone have any luck selling any to a coin shop? I know the mintage was under 100,000 for P, D, and S all together. Redbook's price isn't any higher than the rest of them though. Is there a demand for them at coin shops? If anyone has any idea if they are worth saving please let me know. I...
