Copper Nickel Stacking

Nickel has been caught up in the broader base metals negativity caused by slowing global manufacturing activity and U.S.-China trade tensions.

$0.0399843 is the melt value for the 1946-2014 US nickel coin on July 30, 2019.According to Coinflation.

The copper and nickel material in the US five cent coin is worth about four cents today, and when you factor in the production cost for the mint to produce these coins, you can read the writing on the wall. At some point in the near future, the nickel will be worth more than a nickel.
