Best Answer

Yes. The Key date for the Jefferson Nickel is the 1950-D. The 1938-D, 1938-S, 1939-D, 1939-S, 1951-S are also among the more sought after of the Jefferson's. Minting errors are considered collectable and some, such as the 1943 over 1942 and the 1954 S over D sell for substantial amounts.

Special "war nickels" minted from late 1942 to 1945 are worth about a dollar each. These are the only US nickels that contain any silver - 35%, or 1.75 gm.

If such a coin existed it would be spectacularly valuable, but all 1964 nickels - in fact, all US nickels made since 1938 - carry a picture of Thomas Jefferson. Abraham Lincoln has been on the cent since 1909.In any case 1964-dated nickels are very common. Any found in pocket change are generally only worth face value.
