1959 Nickel

I think I ran out of things to say about common nickels. It is old and has a low mintage but not worth much.

This nickel is a bit rough but for a circulating find it is good enough. I will keep taking the 1950s coins from my change even if they are common because of habit.

Here's the stats...
Type/Country: 5 Cents / United States of America
Year: 1959
Mintage: 27,248,000
Metal: 75% copper 25% nickel
Value: $0.10 in Almost Uncirculated (AU-50) this one is less

Want to know if your nickel has more than face value? Leave a comment/question and I will do my best to find out the price and history for you.

Not sure what to call it. I have a nickel. But it looks like it didn't get hit hard enough almost plain but still with the basics and in the center it's raised like it was about to be pierced. No clue how to upload photos
