  No. Nickle is a misspelling.

  
  Here's a warning parable for coin collectors...

  Absolutely. Nickel like the metal. "Nickle" is in some dictionaries, but if you use it, you'll look like a dolt

  Remember, a nickel is not a pickle.

  crafting a search for a 2000-P and 2000-D PCGS MS66FS nickel is crazy hard on eBay. I haven't seen any for a while, so maybe my search sucks, it's hard to try and figure out all the possible different ways this could get listed, while preventing 500 auctions from showing up by just searching for 2000 pcgs. Adding 'nickle' to that search isn't nearly as annoying as searching for (millenium,millennium,milenium,milennium) and even with that I'm sure I've missed an auction or five for a milenhium Sac$.

  Hey... a nickle is a nickel... that's what grandma aways said. Of coarse, there's still only one proper spelling for the word.

  Wekar - I feel your "ebay search pain" - As a fall-back position, go to US Coins and do a search on "2000." I know, I know, it'll give you a lot of stuff you're not interested in, but if you're patient in scanning, at least you won't miss anything!

  A nickle is a nikkle is a nichle is a nickel.
  
  What's in a name? That which we call a nickel by any other name would still just be 5c. Unless it were a Jefferson nickle, then apparently it's just modern crap.

  Thanks Mike, but what I'm sure you meant to say was, "do a search on (2000,2000p,2000d,00,00p,00d)" heheh.

  just so y'all can see what a difference your search terms make:
  
  eBay search in US Coins results
  # auctions Search term
  2132 2000
  2232 (2000,2000p,2000d)
  3156 (2000,2000p,2000d,00,00p,00d)
