Immy - Youi only list from 59 back. Do you keep anything more recent? Anything else your looking for?

The only post-1960 nickels I keep are proofs. I like oddities so I also keep anything with a hole in it or any nickel with something extra punched into the design (letters, designs, etc.). I've found two so-called "Atheist" nickels that have the word "GOD" obliterated. And of course any die breaks or other major errors are keepers.

Good deal on the silver nickels. Theyre fun to find. I found one last week that was almost a flat disk.

I don't do nickles often but somewhere I read that one of the folders for nickles goes from 1938 to 1962 so they recommended saving any thing 1962 or less.

The Whitman volume one album goes up to 1961 inclusive so if you want to complete an album you'll need a 60PD & 61PD but they aren't really worth anything beyond face value. Even in mint state they're worth about 25 cents. But with metal prices going up any nickel may be worth saving eventually.

Still not bad finds, HH Art...
