Metal Value of a Nickel from 1997 to 2012

Postby dpwozney » Sat Oct 06, 2012 8:49 pm

The chart at this Zerohedge link graphs the metal “dollar” value of a U.S. Mint cupronickel nickel from 1997 to September 2012.

The chart is found in this Zerohedge article dated September 11, 2012.

The chart shows that before the 2008 price crash, the metal value of a U.S. Mint cupronickel nickel reached a peak of about 190% of face value.

For comparison, before the 2008 price crash, the metal value of a U.S. Mint zinc penny reached a peak of about 120% of face value, while a pre-1982 U.S. Mint copper penny reached a peak of about 290% of face value.

Is this a question or a comment?
Soooo... Is it just me or is a chart of US debt looking dangerously parabolic?

While the initial post does not contain any question marks, your post does.

The initial post is a general information post for people reading this forum who were not aware that there was any chart that graphed any historical metal “dollar” value of a U.S. Mint cupronickel nickel, and would be interested in viewing such a chart.

The initial post is a discussion “pertaining to the investing in, collecting and saving of U.S. CuNi Nickels”.
