Are 2008-2009 nickels scarce?
I'VE never received one in my change yet and short of buying a case of
jeffersons and searching the lot, I'm not sure that they are out there. Does anyone have any information on this? |

If you find a circulation strike 2009-D nickel, you will make the front page of Coin World. Same for the 2009-D dime. The tens of millions of them that were minted are apparently languishing in a vault somewhere due to lack of orders from banks. There are plenty of 2008 and 2009 nickels available, but they are from mint sets, which have a different finish. James |

Are 2008-2009 nickels scarce?
A couple of weeks ago, I went through 20 rolls of nickels that I got from my
bank and didn't find a single 2009-dated nickel. There were a handful of 2008's so at least they're out there. I didn't find much else either, only 2 nickels before 1950, a 1939 and a 1949. Bummer! I also went through 20 rolls of cents and found only 3 2009-dated Lincolns, all "professional life" types. Those were the first 2009 dated coins that I found except for 2 DC Terrritorial Quarters. -- Richard http://coins.richlh.com/MyCoinLinks.htm http://www.richlh.com Don't lament that the rose bush has thorns.

The Mint's production figures say there are millions of them out there. I'm not seeing them. As for other 2009 coins, I've seen 2009 Kennedys (with thanks to Jud) and a few sporatic cents. Trying to get rolls of anything new from the local banks is an exercise in futility. Jerry |

Jerry- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - In the past month in Central Illinois, I've had all the 2009 quarters in change except the Marianas' coin. I've had all four of the 2009 Linocln cents. Both the quarters and cents aren't over abundant, but not impossible (and I cover a lot of territory during the month - several cities between Quincy and Danville). But, NO 2009 nickels or dimes. On Saturday, the Mall Area here on the southwest side of Springpatch looks like pre-recession "business as usual". Not the other days of the week, but Saturday looks normal. oly |

How many boutique mod clothing stores can one area handle? I also noted that the local coin shop (Century Stamps & Coins) that had been in place for at least 30 years closed up/down a couple weeks ago. Don't know if it was because of the economy or not, or if it will be relocating, but it will be missed here. I often wondered how it survived all those years with so few customers around any time I stopped in. About like many antique shops. How do they survive with maybe a handful of browsers each day? Mail order? Dealer to dealer? Ebay? |
