The 1964 nickel holds a distinct place in American numismatics due to its unique metal content. Before 1965, nickels were composed of 75% copper and 25% nickel. However, in response to the increasing costs of raw materials during the 1960s, the United States Mint made a significant change to the composition of the coin. In 1964, the U.S. Mint began producing a new variant of nickel, made from 56% copper, 35% silver, and 9% manganese. This alteration was a result of the increasing value of silver and the reduced demand for nickel during the early 1960s. Consequently, the 1964 nickel became the last circulating coin in the United States to contain silver, making it a unique and sought-after collectible today. This coin has a high rim/rim mark. This item comes from a smoke free home.No returns accepted.
