I'm having a bad case of NAS over it, but I keep telling myself to wait, seeing their a dime a dozen. So I guess i'll wait :munch:

You can get nickels for a dime a dozen? At my local supplier, a dime only gets me two. Care to share your source?

Your nickle looks beat up a bit. But I will buy it on PayPal for $0.05US with free shipping!

That is the best offer you have gotten so far!

I'd rather have five pennies. Feels like more money.

lxdude · Jan 22, 2012

C'mon, Brian. Everybody knows a penny's not worth anything!

I mean, people won't bend down to pick up a penny, but they will to pick up a nickel. That's cuz a nickel's real money!

Here's a Nickell that's a pleasure to look at: http://strictlyblackandwhite.com/

I have the good sense to still pick up stray cents. But a nickel will buy a pickle so I'm not so fickle as to pass by a free nickel.

Is the nickel still available?

No, it has been deleted.

Does anybody know if the nickle had a buffalo on it?

A buffalo with three legs, or four legs?

Is this one of the original 'plugged' nickel or just one of the ordinary 'unplugged' type?

An acoustic nickel?

That's a fine-looking mini relief portrait of Thomas Jefferson. Any idea how rare it is?

Sirius Glass · May 10, 2012

With all this time passing, can you discount the nickle to $0.04US?

You mean since the start of this thread? Yeah... I'll agree to that.

If the OP sells it he will become Nichols, which is worse than being Penniless.

Or is it worse to be Penniless than Nicholos?

I've been saving mine to melt down and do some table top sculptures. Pretty low melting point on copper, but not sure what percentage of it is in a penny now a days. Has anyone made any tests? Maybe at different temps? I looked on Digital Truth, nothing there.

Are those scratches, or just cleaning marks?

Those are called hairlines and won't affect functionality.

Pre 1982 pennies are mostly copper, after are mostly zinc. Nickels are 75% copper 35% nickel. In terms of metal value: A pre-1982 penny is worth about 3 cents. (post 1982 is 0.9 cents). Nickels (1946-2014) are worth about 6.25 cents. Melting US nickels is currently illegal.

1943 Lincoln cents are made of steel. I wonder what that is worth.

10-20 cents, mainly for collectors (https://www.thesprucecrafts.com/worth-of-1943-penny-768863)

Now wartime silver nickels (1942-1945, 35% silver) are worth about $1.30 (https://www.coinflation.com/coins/1942-1945-Silver-War-Nickel-Value.html)

So at sometime in the future the coin collections I made as a child may actually become worth something?!?
