Pretty much any nickels minted from the 1930s to today are considered to be common or only very slightly rare. You have to go back at least a century to find rare standard strikes; in addition there are several rare errors. Some of the more valuable coins are:

> 1879, 1880, and 1881 shield design

> 1885, 1886, and 1912-S Liberty head design

> 1913-S Type II buffalo design.

The following buffalo nickel errors are rare:

>1916/16, 1918/17-D, and 1937-D 3 legs

What is a rare date for nickels?

There are only a few truly rare dates. Among standard issues, 1877 and 1909-S are considered to be key dates. 1877 Indian cents retail for about $1000 in worn condition and go up to $150,000 in top condition. A 1909-S retails for $500 to a several thousand. There is also an 1888/1887 "overdate" resulting from re-use of an existing die. While this could technically be considered an error coin its value is anywhere from $2300 to $50,000
