Modwriter Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 I got some brand new MS grade 2020 Nickels today in change. They are beautiful, full steps, etc. I may send them in for grading just to preserve them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWB Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Expensive way to preserve pocket change. Just get a clean paper or plastic roll and put you uncirculated nickel into that. They will be just for for the next century. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VKurtB Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 I got my very first 2020P dime over the weekend. I threw it under my microscope. Clean as a whistle. Modwriter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VKurtB Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 (edited) I'm mostly a nickel guy, too, but I "put back" all exceptionally nice coins I get in commerce. I don't have all that many years left, but my kid's kid(s) may like them. He's 25 and more of a coin nut than I am. He's an ANA certified exhibit judge for European coins too. The only 2020 nickels I've seen so far are proofs of one sort or another. I'm still getting ridiculously nice 2019P's also. I recently got seriously into my Shield set at a local auction in central Pennsylvania. Really nice material that had been held for decades by a collector who died. All raw, all very nice. I overspent my budget at that sale. Edited August 27, 2020 by VKurtB Modwriter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the best part, she was sitting right next to me, egging me on! She gets "auction fever". I have been really good at avoiding it. The material was so nice it deserved a small account transfer. It WAS small, but still... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But...what could they buy with a shiny nickel? A "penny" gum ball is now 25-cents.... A "nickel" Coke costs $1.50 or $5 in a sports stadium. kenlee47 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coinbuf Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Impossible to know what a shinny nickel from today will be worth in 100 years, could be nothing or something. Really depends on what people in the next century desire to collect. Modwriter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Alex in PA. Posted August 28, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 28, 2020 I remember the days we could buy Fleers Double Bubble gum, a good size square, complete with sports cards for a nickel. Even a candy bar big enough to share for 5 cents, I collect the Buffalo. Nothing fancy nothing exciting bu at least AU or low MS.

VKurtB Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Man after my own, and my son’s heart. He’s 25, and has completed his Buffalo nickel set, except for varieties, in a nicely matched XF set. Modwriter and Alex in PA. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We “stole” the ‘26-S in a multi-coin auction lot in which most guys never checked the bag contents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
