Not a one. Nor do any nickels from the 1950s, 1930s, 1920s, or anything earlier. Nickels have been made of the same copper/nickel blend since they were first introduced in 1866. The one exception are the WWII-era war nickels (1945-1945) which contain 35% silver.
== == The WWII years were high production years for U.S. coins. Just about anything from these years -- pennies, nickels, dimes, etc. -- are considered common (to collectors). However, your dimes are made out of silver, so they will always have a value for the silver they contain. As of 10/2008 that value is about 90 cents apiece.
Yes, we even had High octane !
Approximately eleven nickels.
All dimes from 1960 to 1970 are worth at least 10 cents. Dimes from 1960 to 1964 are worth at least $2 for there silver content. Dimes dated 1965 to 1970 are only worth face value unless they are uncirculated.
Yes. A lot. Probably just as much as today, maybe more. Have you ever read The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton? It is a good source for learning about gangs and other social issues in the 1960s.
None of the new US nickels are silver.
Unlike dimes, quarters, and half-dollars, which were all 90% silver before 1965, nickels did NOT have a change in metal composition in the 1960s. They have been the same blend of 75% copper and 25% nickel since the coin was introduced back in 1866. The only nickels that DO contain silver are "war" nickels, minted 1942-45.
No they do not, the ONLY nickels to have any silver are the "War Nickels" from late 1942 to 1946
Nickels that year weren't made of silver. There was no change in metal composition in nickels in the 1960s. The only nickels that do contain silver are those minted between 1942 and '45. Anything post-war is only worth face value.
No US nickels have ever been pure silver, the "war nickels" of 1942-1945 are 35% silver and are the only nickels to have any silver. Post new question.
None. The only nickels with any silver in them were made from 1942 to 1945.
No Buffalo nickels were struck in silver, only the Jefferson "War Nickels" from 1942 to 1945 have any silver in them.
No Buffalo nickels were struck in silver, only the Jefferson "War Nickels" from 1942 to 1945 have any silver in them.
Never. They're called nickels for a reason. The only U.S. nickels to contain any silver at all, at 35%, were "war" nickels dated 1942-1945. Nothing before or after was made of silver.
Pre-1965 nickels are made of the same copper/nickel blend as modern nickels. The only nickels that contain any silver are those minted during WWII.
