Is there a market for pre-1960 nickels?

[BuffaloBoy]

I've amassed several hundred dollars worth of pre-1960 nickels over the years of hunting and they have been taking up a lot of space. In the mix are only common pre-1960 nickels since I separated the key dates and semi key dates as well as any higher grade coins and put those aside.

Is there a market for common circulated pre 1960 Jefferson nickels? I don't want to mess with eBay or Craigslist and would prefer to unload them all at once. Or is my best bet to just dump the mix at my dump bank and cash out?
Thank you.

I had intentions of doing the same thing Jack but like you said it is extremely time consuming. I just don't have enough free time to do so otherwise I would. I am dumping $300+ worth of pre-1960 nickels into circulation in the next couple of weeks.

I'm sure you'd get at least 10% over face if you put those on eBay.
