Send me the grading fee. It's silver. It's worth $1.

I like the war nickels very much. I couldn't find any other war nickels minted on a regular nickel planchet. If this is not silver it's very valuable.
Looks and ring test aside, the metals in this coin must be analyzed professionally.
Has Fred Weinberg ever seen this type of off metal error (or heard of one)?

 

Come on old hoopster. We all know that you go to a dive bar at 2am to find a bride

 

i am actually sending it in next week. IF and ONLY IF it pans out my way... would I ask for a mint error label? or a discovery label? when I had called they said there were different prices for different labels.

 

a new updated thread because not everyone will go back a month or 2 and see if I updated it or not. so no... it wouldn't be easier IMO.

 

We are watching the thread it will send us an alert that you responded. No need for a new thread

 

you can not say with 100% certainty that it is not an error. maybe it isn't... maybe it isn't silver either. could be counterfeit for all anyone knows like the henning nickel. if SOMEONE had answered my very simple question from the last thread it would already be on its way. in case you missed that very simple question I will repreat it... if it were a legit error would its value be enough for me to get my cost back with a little profit. if ANYONE would have simply said "yes" it would be on its way there. however... that was a seemingly a hard question where no one answered it. I don't need anyone telling it is or isn't an error. I don't need anyone to tell me to send it or not to. I just need whatever specific question I ask to be answered to the best of peoples ability. people probably didn't think the 43 copper penny was real either and that person probably got the same grief I am right now. so for god's sake... and seriously... work with me instead of against me. then we would all have the answer a lot faster. the very simple question in the last thread I posted had NOTHING to do with the coin itself. I had to do with the test. so if we focus less on the coin and more on the question at hand, that too would help speed up the process.

 

no pawn stores near me have a xrf test. they said the gun cost $14,000 to $15,000

 

wish I knew that a long time ago...

 

So do we

You have to pay extra for the error attribution. If you don't pay extra for it they will just grade it and you will not get the information you want. That will be a total waste of time and money.

 

I never get an alert for threads I am watching.

 

If not an alert it goes into watched threads.

 

Sending it in to a TPG would have answered all your questions with less time wasted and probably less money, but we already know the answer as to whether or not it is a true Mint error. I also can't say for certain Big Foot doesn't exist either, but I know it doesn't.

 

One thing against it, I can't find any other examples.
Of course this could be the first one, a discovery piece, but that is unlikely after
70 years. These things are found right out of the gate, or certainly within the first year or two.

 

And THAT is why the 1916/1916 buffalo nickel was reported in or around 2000 and the 1914/3 buffalo nickel was reported even more recently.

 

You're about 45 years off on the 1916/1916 discovery, but your point was made.

 

1914/3 has an interesting story too ... https://www.ngccoin.com/boards/topic/61238-the-19143-buffalo-nickel-overdate-story/

 

Are you going to submit the coin or not?
