I have a couple hundred in nickels but nothing serious.I think there will be a long time to stock up on them in the future.

| I used to have a lot more nickels but cashed a lot of them in to buy more pennies. |
If your percentages are low.. just sort more. If your percentages are high.. just sort more.

| I made a big push with buying nickels early on. The fact that they didn't require sorting was one thing that appealed to me. I'm buying pennies now but I know that if I started on nickels again I would continue until I had at least another $1,000 worth. |

Did you even do a quick sort for silver or buffalo nickels? You're right about the sorting though. I hand sorted 3 boxes of nickels and found no silver or buffaloes, so it's probably just as well to leave them in the sealed box. |
Load up now while you can!

I woudn't call it a serious sort but I have gone through some rolls early on when I got them outside of boxes. I did fine some war nickels and some 100% Canadian. In fact, I was getting a lot of 100% for a while. Maybe I'm just saving my sorting for my old age. Both pennies and nickels that is. I really don't feel as much a need to sort now as I do to buy and hoard. |

"Money is the barometer of a society's virtue. When you see that trading is done, not by consent, but by compulsion...when you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing...when you see your laws don't protect you against them, but protect them against you...when you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming a self-sacrifice...you may know that your society is doomed."
Ayn Rand, from Atlas Shrugged

Look at it this way Jack.. you could double the size of your hoard without a signicant capital outlay.  |
If your percentages are low.. just sort more. If your percentages are high.. just sort more.
