I am new to the site and need some advice about nickels if anyone can help. I recently fell onto a GREAT deal this past Christmas when I was at an auction. I purchased a large amount of Canadian nickels below face value and I recently found out their value. WOW. I am wondering about the U.S. nickels though. Are any years better than others or are they all the same when it comes to metal content. I know about war nickels and numismatic. What years of regular nickels should I collect? Should I just keep them in the box and store them all. Any shared knowledge would be a great help. Thanks.
as far as metal content goes for regular nickels none are better than others. just keep them all together unsorted. as far as numismatic value, ones from 38-61 may bring a slight premium as some of them have lesser mintages.

i keep all nickels 1959 and older. some people like to keep all the nickels they find becuase they are worth 7 cents now becuase of their metal content. nice buy with the canadian nickels!
Nickels older than 1960 have a coin collector value of about 7¢. Some rare ones like the 1950 D are worth more, like hundreds of dollars.
