How much is 1963 nickel worth?

The value of a 1963 nickel depends on its condition and variety. In general, a circulated 1963 nickel is worth between 5 and 10 cents, while an uncirculated 1963 nickel can be worth up to $5 or more.

There are two main varieties of 1963 nickel: the "Regular Strike" and the "Proof Strike". The Proof Strike nickel is distinguished by its sharp details, mirror-like finish, and frosted devices. Proof Strike nickels are typically worth more than Regular Strike nickels, with some examples selling for over $100.

In addition to the two main varieties, there are also a number of other rare and valuable 1963 nickels. These include the "Doubled Die Obverse" variety, which has a doubled image of the Liberty Bell, and the "Repunched Mint Mark" variety, which has a repunched mint mark on the reverse. These rare varieties can sell for hundreds or even thousands of dollars.

If you have a 1963 nickel, it is important to have it appraised by a professional coin dealer to determine its exact value.
