  • The most valuable nickels ever made were five 1913 Liberty Head nickels. Despite being unauthorized, these coins were made by Mint employees using official dies and are considered to be genuine Mint issues. Auction values have approached $5 million.

Canadian Nickels

  • The most valuable nickel is a 1944 coin struck in a brass alloy called tombac. Current retail prices are around $90,000.
  • Prior to 1922 Canadian 5-cent coins weren't called nickels because they were made of silver rather than nickel or other base metals. The most valuable of these is from 1921, with a retail value of at least $17,000 for a top-quality coin.
