You clearly don't know a thing about values of modern issues... Talking of nickels. I went to the bank today and on a whim bought rolls of cents, nickels, dimes, and quarters. I'm not normally a roll searcher, but I felt like it today. Wouldn't you know it? The teller gave me a fed roll of uncirculated D bisons. Now I'm paralyzed. One part of me wants to put them in the safe in case they're worth something one day. The other part wants to tear them open to look for a speared bison. Couldn't the teller just have given me a simple conflict-free roll of nickels? I hope I don't discover the other denominations are uncirculated coins that may be worth something one day. Anita Don't worry, Anita. It looks like 20-30% of the entire bison nickel mintage will be saved in one form or another in BU condition by collectors, dealers, and speculators. Not much doubt these will never be in demand because of scarcity. The stuff to put aside for future appreciation is the stuff no one else saves. That's why I was able to sell a local phone book from the 1950's for $45, and a Sears catalog from the same period for $60. If you've got the space and the time, putting away examples of common everyday items that most everyone else throws away might bring nice returns from nostalgia freaks in years to come. With me, it will be my grandson who would reap any benefits of the oddball stuff I'm saving, if he doesn't throw it all away before his collector gene develops. Bruce |
