High Five!

I hope it is.

Now you just have to find someone to buy a nickel for $2k.

I'm afraid to burst your bubble but the odds are 98% against your nickel...unless, you can see some trace of a mintmark on either side of the D. That year there was a horizontal mintmark on a few of the coins, thus the price. Hope this clarifies it for you....take it to a coinshop! HH

I can't tell from these pictures, but if it was a D/D, the price tag would not be $750 to $2000, those are mint state coins. The one on heritage is graded MS-63 FS, FS (Full Step) coins demand an even higher price because the 5 steps on Monticello are well defined. My price guide says in VF the D/D coin is worth $35, but I'd say that one is G-VG with that big rim nick, so if it is the D/D I'd not expect anymore than $15 from a dealer, but you could probably get more on ebay.

Grading has the most impact on the price of coins, just because a certain grade isn't listed in a price guide doesn't mean that it can't have that grade.

Good thing thats not a nick, that'll make the price $20-$30, good for something thats only worth 5 cents :tumble:
