Pick-a-nik

Hello, I was finally able to acquire a copy of James Wiles rpm book for Jefferson Nickels. In which a noticed he shows a picture of what other guides I have for Jefferson Nickels have as the 1954-d/s as a rpm rather than an omm. In the price guide which lists this variety as a omm it says a value is about $60 in xf; however Wiles lists the same coin as having a value of only $3 in xf. Does anyone know what the true value of this coin is, seen any for sale? The coin in question is listed by cherrypickers as FS-032.9 and CONECA RPM -003, Wexler WOMM-001. I believe I may have one and am curious what they sell for.

I have only seen 1 on telatrade it was a MS-67 and the bid was $250.00.
but that was last summer.

Pick-a-nik,
You are asking about some tough ones. I just posted reply on the Inverted D inquiry. I've only seen one example and it was a nice mint state example, maybe MS65. It seems you really need a nice early die state coin to see the little curve inside the D. I'd love to own a nice uncirculated example, however, the one I was looking at was $500. Tough to pay that much for this one raw, you really need it attributed and in a holder, just to make sure. I'm sure there are 1954-D's out there with die scratches in the D that look similar. Not sure how you would price a circulated sample....whatever a buyer is willing to pay!

Thanks for the reply. I'm by no means positive on this one. I've thought about sending it in for attribution. I checked out CONECA's web-site (I think I have the name correct) and it says you can send coins in for attribution for a small fee but I'm unsure what exactly this gets you. Does the coin expert just send coin back saying yes this is or no this isn't, if it is- do they provide some proof that the coin has been attributed by CONECA expert via a slab or holder stating what variety it is-there web site doesn't really spell it out. If I remember right it said the attr. fee was something like $4 per coin. Maybe I'll try posting an image although my scanner images usually aren't especially clear. Another future project. Thanks again for the reply to my post(s) Dowgie

I asked around and obtained a picture of the 54-D/S mintmark. You can see that this could just be a die scratch? Oh well, I wouldn't mind finding one!!
