Nice coin for an album. But a very common coin probably only worth face value.
Might be worth twelve cents. On a good day.
spend worth face value only

Keep - it only cost you 5 cents, and you went to the trouble to find it!
Nice Jeffy. Yeah, too bad about the FS. Looks to have a "satin finish "? Pretty cool.
"Jesus died for you and for me, Thank you,Jesus"!!!
--- If it should happen I die and leave this world and you want to remember me. Please only remember my opening Sig Line.Odd look. Spend it. Just another ultra-common date Jefferson.
Would look nice in an album!
I would keep it if I found it in change. Because I'm a Jefferson nickel addict. Only problem is that it would wind up in my change bowel....then I'd spend it. It's not worthy of an album. Unless the album is comprised of change finds only....5¢.
Just make sure the person you give it to knows it has been in your change bowel...😆
I put em n a plastic coin tube, and just keep em.
You should start an album from your change bowel...probably some monster toners in there!
A nice nickel...Nice means good condition for it's age.... a casual change finds album would be a good place for it. No numismatic premium ....Cheers, RickO
Keep hunting and start a folder!
Now that's the funniest thing I've read all day!
Of course you do your the coin hoarder
But seriously though, I'm starting to get the whole album thing. Its not only about be able to enjoy your coins but rather filling a void for coins not worthy of plastic but too nice not to keep.
Give it to one of the YN’s that doesn’t seem to post anymore.
I found many coins like that in change in my day. Try to remember that feeling, if they lose a a dollar or two on 5 dollar coin big deal.
In fact if they’re reading this PM me and I’ll send them various coins to see what they might want to collect
I have my first coin from the 60s that started me collecting, I’ve got coins worth thousands now but it was that coin that made such an impact. I’ll never get rid of it. I’m sure the .65 was a major rip for the flea market vender.
There’s many that have 1 coin worth more than my 55 years collecting, I admire them but really I feel fine.
You’ll never find a moving van behind a hearse as they say, wisdom is a life long lesson.
Heck I even signed up for some approvals that brought the world of coins to me, wasn’t an internet back then. My comics told me I could kick sand in people’s face, x-ray vision glasses, or earn a bike selling all occasion cards or the girt. What an exciting time it was learning the ways of the world.
Looking back I have very found memories of those times as I approach my demise.

Get yourself a Dansco and start a Jefferson nickel collection! Started this collection last year coin roll hunting.
I have slowly upgraded it and will have all BU coins most likely by the end of the year. I told a Dealer what I was looking for a few months ago and he went out of his way to bring in about 50 Pre1960 BU nickels so I could upgrade. I Picked out what I wanted and he sold them to me at a very nice price. I intend to give this to my best friends daughter on her 5th birthday.
Any years you need, PM me and I’ll help you get started. I have many extras 🤓

Never heard that one before. I like it.
What does that mean exactly? If your not moving your dead?
It means you can’t take the stuff with you
The world needs understanding and love in this time of transition.
As the song from Kansas says: “we’re all just dust in the wind”
This isn’t coin related so my last post out of respect for others.
Not that I post much, what I think really doesn’t matter. Someone wants to win you win.
Food for thought folks, there’s some awesome people here. I don’t open threads I know will make angry anymore.
Life to short.
Here’s a short clip of that speech...take care

Nickel is the only investment you can make which is "no lose." It is worth slightly above 4 cents for the copper and nickel. It will eventually be worth much more. If I am wrong, you can spend it.
Somebody obviously missed the satirical irony. Go back and read the title of the thread. As in the "Keep or Dump" part. Get it? Oh, well......I tried.😈
P.S. Anybody remember the joke about the baby who swallowed the penny?
@ttown So true Rick, Dreams are just dreams without goals. Hence the registry set
Take care
