Oh no it is just five cents but it is soooo old. Plus metal value is just about four cents, well that is a shame.
I will not be saving many of these unless they are in high grade with sharp details. They are kind of a waste of space bit if you are doing a out-of-pocket collection at least keep two. It took a while to find a 1960 nickel and these are not rare. I can not stress enough that new collectors should start going through their change as I suspect the next few years will bring major changes to coins in the U.S.
Here's the stats...
Type/Country: 5 Cents/United States
Year: 1960
Mintage: 55,416,000
Metal: 75% Copper 25% Nickel
Value: $0.05 in G-4
Do you have a nickel and want to know its value? Leave a comment/question and I will do my best to find out the price and history for you.
What do you mean by "Major changes"?
ReplyDeleteYea I always go through any change I get and have already managed to get: A complete Australian circulated commemorative 1 dollar collection, An almost complete circulated Australian 50 cent commemorative coin collection (only mussing 4) and a far from completed Australian commemorative 20 cent coin collection (missing about 10+)
ReplyDeleteAll the coins in these collections I have picked up in circulation from the period of mid way through 2011- now.
Recently I got given some foreign notes from my grandpas travels (they are from countries where the notes are worth next to nothing in exchange but o well)

My dad gave it to me after his dad gave it to him who sadly died from cancer.
I would also like to know two things: do you have any Australian notes and (this is more important)
What was your favourite coin during you CHILDHOOD of coin collecting?
What do you mean by "Major changes"?
ReplyDeleteMetal change of some coins followed by the elimination of certain coins like the halves.
Then soon after the end of cents then nickels.
Assuming a fiscal conservative enters the White House.
I have picked up in circulation from the period of mid way through 2011- now.
ReplyDelete--Wow 2 years and you got all those coins.
Rechecked all those notes and yes all just have exchange value, still a nice collection.

--wheat cent, those are the U.S. cents from 1909-1958. They just seemed so old that finding them was like look into the past.
DId a quick google images check and the FPT and NC 1000 Mille franks appear to be the same. How can I tell the difference?
ReplyDeleteDId a quick google images check and the FPT and NC 1000 Mille franks appear to be the same. How can I tell the difference?
ReplyDeleteI think it is signatures, the FPT signatures are from 1996 and the NC is older.
COuld you tell me the signatures to differentiate? It doesnt really matter if you dont know I'm just happy to know that there I have a nite that is worth more then 10 dollars! :D
ReplyDeleteCOuld you tell me the signatures to differentiate?
ReplyDelete--I am not 100% sure and the few links I know are weak on info.
Try here
Never mind the person who gave them to me (my grandpa) and he got them in tahiti so its the FPT.

ReplyDeleteThe more common one is still a nice note.
