1964 and 1964-D are the most common years for nickels.

It's not that low. A low mintage would be like 600,000 or even 20,000 like the '55 double die.

But 8 million is still pretty low in my opinion.

But 8 million is still pretty low in my opinion.

There's plenty of them out there... nothing to write home about... now a '38-D, '38-S, '39-D, '39-S, 50-D... those are the keepers.

The 55 Plain is a underated nickel and very hard to come by in rolls. I have only found (18) in hundreds and hundreds of boxes,The 51 S is also tough. The 43D is by far the toughest War nickel. Also the 41S Large S is very elusive. There are others also that get no credit for being tough to find.These are my opinions based on my experiences.Thanks. Dennis.

UK colony? 1 cent coin

How does it look like?

 

[thtr12]

under magnification I can see it is from Fiji.
However it has Queen Elizabeth II on it.

Also posting a picture of my coin from India which was found at a Coinstar machine sometime last year.

 

[sagittarius98]

Fiji is still part of the Commonwealth of Nations, as it was part of the British Empire at one point. Both of your coins just have exchange value.
