Pre-1960 nickels

[bobr]

Is there anything special about pre-1960 nickels? I see some people are keeping them.

yep, thats the cutoff date of what nickels we keep. everything 1959 and older.

1959 is the cutoff year for mass production of nickels. The production of most years before 1960 (except for the war years and a few other years) is less than 100 million. That's just my theory after looking through the Red Book.
