I just got done moving a few months ago. I sold my copper before I moved but I move a whole bunch of nickels. I was wondering if it is worth sorting those by decades and offering them on a KSA and what would the be worth know that the 40's would have no silver being they go some where else.
Any thoughts?

If it is just U.S. Nickels and you don't want to waste a lot of time, I wouldn't waste time going through them. After all, you got rid of the pennies and nickels are 75% copper. Now if you had Canadian nickels in quantity (.999 nickels minted before 1982), that might be worth spending some time on.
Just as a rule of thumb, if we had a 4/4/40 environment ($4 a pound copper, $4 a gallon gas, and $40 an ounce silver), then it might be worth spending some time going through the nickels. But that could be a long time off.
