A key date error coin (1885 Nickel)

Recently bought this for a song ($72). I guess everyone thought it was damage and not a lamination.

I'd call it a planchet flaw, not a true lamination. Looks like it goes too deep to be a surface lamination. But maybe I'm wrong. Nice buy.

 

I think I would agree, planchet flaw.

 

I agree with Conder101 and C-B-D. Appears to be a planchet flaw, not a lamination.

 

Ah well. Still an error of sorts. And still worth more than $72, I would believe.

 

Very valuable even in G-4. A very good buy/ and coin.

 

The coin won't grade unless graded as a mint error. A severe planchet flaw like that would prevent it. Looks like AG to me. The error doesn't help and might hurt the value a bit, since collectors like their key dates to be error-free. For $72, however, I still think you got a good deal.

 

Nice coin for a great deal there!

 

Hey. Nice hole filler. Oh hell yeah

 

Its a 85 all day.

 

I figured the best way to sell it is to get MINT ERROR on the label.

 

Glad you are happy with it!

 

I think this is going to be a very successful flip. This coin is a monster and the planchet flaw does not detract from the key date (to me).

 

I'm guessing a double up.
