Well,
We just got back from about 5 days in Canada and 3 days in New York state.
I sorted more than $350 of nickels and got $73 in .999 nickels. Plus one from 1941(or 1942 I can't remember).
Also, about $20 or $25 worth were US nickels. (one of which was a silver war nickel)
And I pulled out 3 1991s and two 2000Ps.
And, (to be added in a "numismatic" forum post... I found a two headed us nickel. It must be fabricated because it has two dates, not close years. Weird... Any knowledge of these?
Well it was fun! Wish I could have pulled more. The last box really killed me... Less than 10% .999 nickels!
Don't know if I'll ever have the opportunity to do it again. But At least I have some more .999 nickel put away. (Hope it goes back up...wow, just $10 a lb.)

You did very good to get 20% Ni coin. I am pulling about 15%, excluding those minty fresh boxes from the sort. I've hand sorted out over 3 boxes of .99 and only found two US silver war nicks to date, so again, you did very well :)
Do you know where there is a market for 2000P and 1991? Are they worth anything?
If there is a market I could flood it. The 1991's and 2000P are not very rare as far as I can tell. I started looking for 2000P one day in my Return pile (all concentrated 2000+) after reading people were looking for them. I had most of a roll in a sandwich size dish of 2000+, almost as many as 2000 no P. I just throw them back. Most Canadian Nickels 2000+ stay in nice condition for a long time too. |

I haven't sold or tried to buy these dates. They did seem rare to me compared with other ones.... especially the 2000P. I went through 100s of 2000 no P and only found 2 P's.
Wow, if you can, I would say go ahead and pull out the 2000P's.
I am just following what others have saved/looked for. |
