Just wondering how many members collect nickels in albums, as opposed to stacking?

Please remember to get your entries in soon for the nickel contest.

New deadline is Oct. 15, 2012 Different format contests will follow. One winner drawn at random from all contests will win a brick of nicks on Christmas Day Image

I keep every nickel I find! My collection revolves around the Jefferson nickels, but I do have a few War nickels and a couple of buffalos that I've found during my searches.

I also have a small amount of Canadian nickels too...hoping to change that ;)

Voted for I just stack, cause that's the vast bulk of it. But I do have a few of the quasi-numi-types, though they fall into the "could hardly call them a collection" level.

I'm working on a roll of every year and mintmark of the pre 60 jeffersons as I sort. Anything above that goes into a jar of 50's and a jar of 40's. I also have accumulated buffaloes and V's by various means and I'm working on books for those. And then of course the war nickels which are part of my silver stack. Oh, and I keep the 2009's as well.
Pennies: $4200 - (0) indians - (5)steel - (1) George V Canadian
Nickels: $6500 - (62)war - (23)buf - (1)V nic - (4) key date jeff's
Dimes: $5000 - (24)roos - (2)merc - (2)AgCAN
