For the first time since the nickel was introduced in 1866, 161 years ago as the Shield Nickel, Congress is hoping that by changing the composition, the 5-cent piece won’t suffer the same fate as the lowly cent. From the beginning the nickel has had a composition of 75% copper and 25% nickel.

The proposal suggests an outer layer of nickel bonded to an inner core of zinc. The weight will remain similar to the current coin so that there will be no adverse affect with use in vending machines – IF you can find a vending machine that still accepts nickels, that is.

According to the U.S. Mint’s Annual Reports, the 2023 cost per 5-cent coin was 11.54 cents; in 2024, 13.78 cents; and 2025, 13.31 cents.

]]> 2026 Quarter 250,000-Coin Treasure Hunt https://daytonketteringcoinclub.org/?p=2532 Sun, 28 Jun 2026 20:46:23 +0000 https://daytonketteringcoinclub.org/?p=2532 The United States Mint has announced that it will produce 250,000 special 2026 Declaration of Independence quarters with a “July 4th” privy mark. It’s another way for the Mint to help celebrate our country’s 250th birthday. Better yet, collectors will not find them in a standard Mint product, they can only be found in circulation. Basically this becomes a national treasure hunt.

NGC is putting a bounty on the July 4th Privy Declaration of Independence Quarter. The first person to submit the Declaration of Independence Quarter featuring the “July 4th” privy mark to NGC for grading will receive an award of $2,500 cash, but you must have a collector’s account with NGC.

]]> 2008-W Burnished Silver Eagle Reverse of ’07 https://daytonketteringcoinclub.org/?p=2519 Tue, 28 Apr 2026 18:20:04 +0000 https://daytonketteringcoinclub.org/?p=2519 In 2008, the US Mint unknowingly released an American Silver Eagle variety, the burnished 2008-W Reverse of 2007. It was only after the coins were in circulation that this error was discovered. The variety is the result of the prior year 2007 reverse die being paired with the 2008 obverse die. John Nanney from Georgia is credited with discovering the variety in April of 2008.

There are two aspects on the reverse of the coin that distinguishes this reverse of 2007 variety: The “U’ in “UNITED STATES” lacks a serif, and the dash between the words “SILVER” and “ONE” is shaped like a tilde.

The Mint found that fifteen 2007 reverse dies were mistakenly used creating 46,318 coins minted. This is only an estimate, the Mint figures each of the fifteen dies struck approximately 3,000 coins. The total mintage of 2008-W Silver Eagles was 20,583,000.

This variety is estimated to be worth 4-5 times the value of regular 2008-W burnished Silver Eagles.
