Let me clarify this poll and how it is different from the poll for .999 nickels coins. I am only interested in the face value of your 75% copper/25% nickel coins. These can include U.S., Canadian (post 1981) nickels, or even other foreign coins of that particular composition. Your results should NOT include .999 Canadian or .999 foreign coins. If you have a 1950-D U.S. nickel, you can only figure the value as 5 cents, so don't figure numismatic value.

Point of clarification- don't include coins like U.S. dimes, quarters and halves where the composition is 75/25, but the melt value of the coin is way below the face value.

I have a little more than a box full of nickels so that falls into the $100 to $500 range. I don't expect to go a lot higher than that while I can still stack copper pennies.

I have a small 50 cal ammo can and I throw any from the 30's or 40's in there. Plus any from the 50's that are in real nice shape. Maybe some day they will be worth something. I figure it's better to have these older ones than it is to sit on a brick or two from the bank. Once the can is full I'll probably roll by date and look for some errors.
