It depends.... If you are just looking for War Nicks, bring back the nicks you don't want to keep. If you are holding on to nickels to increase your hoard for the metal content, keep them all.  |

Haha. I am sure he never touched that coin as he was growing up in Hawaii and Indonesia. |

| Got a question for you guys... I found a bicentennial half today that is silver when you edge check it, but it is not an "S" mint. I don't know of any that were silver that were not "S" mint. When I ring test it, it doesn't quite sound like a 40%, but it doesn't sound like a clad half either. Could it have been silver plated? If so why and who would have done this? |

Just a "tricky" clad. I've found lots of them and they are almost always '76.
No "S"... No silver.
Congrats on the Walkers! |

| Thanks Dumpster Diver, I was thinking it wasn't silver but it definately is on the outside. Someone at sometime must have plated it. I tested the edge and it is silver. I didn't want to scratch it until I was sure because it is in really good shape. |
