Canadian nickle rolls

I have about 10 rolls of 1940 and 1941 nickles, 20 1953 and 25 other mixed dates in the 50's. All Canadian. Appear at first glance to be circulated condition. Other than the 1953 varieties are there any other varieties I should be looking for. Also, do these nickles have any value to some one or should I just take them to the bank for face value? Thanks for any info, Olmanjon

I'd say hold onto them til the price of nickel (the base metal) rebounds. 1940-41 Canadian nickels are composed of pure nickel. The 1953 ones are steel.

Sooo--these coins have no collector value??

anything can have collector value to someone at some time

There are plenty of re-cut varieties in those years, look for those, especially on the portrait and date numerals

it all depends on condition. In uncirculated grades these could be quite valuable.
