1968 S Nickel

[CrzyWytCrakr]

Alright don't laugh but This is the very first "S" mint mark coin I have ever found!!! For me it's freaking awesome I know it doesn't mean much but I didn't even know S mints even existed!! Anyway not only did I find a 1968 S I found a 1970 S mint mark nickel!! Rookie victories I guess!!...lol...just sharing the cool.

It's pretty awesome to find anything that is uncommon in your area. For folks on the east coast, S mintmarked coins can be pretty scarce, whereas they are everywhere out on the west coast. Congrats on your finds. You will probably now be finding them everywhere :-)

Hey if it makes you happy, and learning takes place as well... nothing wrong with that.
I am sure you knew about S minted coins as they are all over the Lincoln cent series.

With hundreds of millions, if not billions of coins made each year, its only a matter of time that those coins get spread over the land. But its good to see a collector happy doing what they enjoy.

Hey guys first thank you very much for your advice and responses. And Honestly Mr. Kozera those 2 nickels are seriously the only ones I have ever seen down here in south Georgia. I have no reason to fib and most certainly despise a liar..(I didn't mean this to sound mean if it did)....That being said would any of the coins that I shown y'all be good enough to send to be graded? I do have some really Mint condition coins 40's 50' 60's etc. All of the coins that I have collected have been sitting in a big jar for years and have never been touched until this year. I know some for sure haven't in 18yrs. I value your opinion because I believe yall have been pretty honest with me. I really appreciate it guys...Y'all have a good weekend and I will check back to see what y'all said either today or tomorrow.

I thought every coin collector knew of the San Francisco mint. OK, OK, if you did not, no big deal. =)

I don't push people in any direction to or not to send in to be graded. That's a choice the owner needs research and decide whether it's for personal use and probably never sell the coin, or potentially try to eventually sell the coin.

I highly suggest you look at PCGS.com and go to the price guide area. See what those nickels are worth before you make a decision. I bet two coins, might cost close to 75.00 or more when all said and done.

I would suggest looking here and seeing that only MS examples might be worth some, but definitely weigh the costs versus value. You coins are heavily circulated.

I believe the 1970s and 1968s might fetch a dollar If these were uncirculated, in ms60:
