Question on nickels

[engine 823]

Picked up my first ever box of nickels. I have read that people keep all pre 1960 nickels. WHY?? What if any nickels other that the war nickels have any sale value. I understand that buffalo and v nickels would but I mean in jefferson nickels. I only want to keep them if they have value.

Good Hunting!!!
Please reply

Some save them simply because after 1960 nickels were mass produced to the extent that only uncirculated examples carry a premium. But certain early non-silvers are worth a dollar or two each even in the lowest grades. A couple approach $5 each.

But true collectors don't need monetary reasons to save pre-60s. I've saved a roll of almost every date just for the fun of it and the fact that they'll soon all be over 50 years old. Everyone has a different interpretation of "value."

Go with what Immy said, and also remember, they all have value. They are all worth at least $0.05.

I fully agree with Immy. It depends on your interpretation of 'value'. WELL said!!!!!
