Both 1982+ pennies and nickels have metal content that’s about 2/3rds the value of the coins based on current metal market rates. Pre ’82 pennies are still worth nearly double (~1.75 times) the face value right now.
If you believe the current silver price is 1/3rd below true value (i.e., silver value will likely go up soon in short order) then buy all means buy junk silver.
One thing for certain, $150 in silver is definitely more portable than those nickels.
*That value of pennies and nickels vs all other coins having current metal content valuation of 15% or less of face.
A few years ago I converted over $300.00 in nickels to silver. Be sure to search them for silver wartime nickels that are 40 percent silver. My search of rolls found 5 silver and 1 buffalo nickel. Good luck.
