10 cents at the most.

 

Perhaps it escapes you that we are still talking about a 1969 Brilliant Uncirculated coin its minimum value is over 25 $

 

If you know the value, then why are you asking ?

 

If you can get more than $.10 for it, sell. I have BU rolls of them I got in a deal one time throughout the 60's I simply have in a pile at the bottom of a closet. Not worth putting in the safe, since they basically are worth face value.

Want to buy a roll? Make you a deal.

 

It’s minimum value would be 5 cents. That’s also what I, and most other people would pay you for it.

 

Give him a discount of $20 per coin from his $25 listed.


from usacoinbook which is usually inflated
The main thing to consider, is that your coin is RAW, not slabbed PCGS etc


on eBay, normally .99 cents to $2 looking at sold listings.
Also, I'm not a nickel expert, but the reverse doesn't look BU to me.

 

First off, welcome to the Boards!!!

Second off, take it in to a coin shop (sometimes called B&M or brick and mortar on coin boards) and see what you are offered if you try and sell it. I'd say @TheFinn is a lot closer than you are.

I personally agree with the evaluation of 5 cents. If you paid more for that, don't worry, ALL new coin collectors get hosed when they are starting out collecting. It is so common that it even has a phrase in the hobby; e.g. paying your tuition. There are plenty of unscrupulous coin dealers out there that will rip you off if they have the chance. OTOH, there are plenty of good coin dealers out there that will try and help you learn about the hobby. Needless to say, those are the ones you should frequent.

While it's fun to jump into a new hobby with both feet, here are a few basic things about coin collecting. First off ALWAYS buy a coin with disposable income. You may get lucky and sell a coin later on for a profit, but most likely you'll be selling it for a loss. Second, get some books to get a better feel for the subject. I'd say a Red Book (A Guide Book of United States Coins) is the basic book any coin library should have. It has lots of good info in it. Don't pay too much attention to the values quoted in the book, as the coin market is fairly variable, and the Red Book is a snapshot of prices. The values are worthwhile to give you a basic idea of the relative value of different coins. Third, if you've got a question come to these boards and ask it. You may not like the answer, but the people on the boards have years of experience, most of it learned the hard way. Generally most of us will have a specific area or two that we specialize in. For example, I know Franklin half dollars pretty well. Also, I'm a collector of space memorabilia. Fourth, coin collecting is a hobby, HAVE FUN!!!!

If you want a "Moon Landing Tribute" coin from 1969 I'd say a Kennedy half dollar makes a LOT more sense, as he was the one that set us on the path to, "Land a man on the Moon and return him safely", by the end of the decade. Two other selling points in my opinion is it's bigger, and it's a 40% silver coin.

 

The problem is that we are talking about a particular currency impossible to look for in books. This 5c is out of series reliefs and brilliance outweigh the rules

 

With that many nicks on it, it's no $25 coin, sir.

 

Pretty sure the 1969-D nickel is in the Red Book. Granted I don’t have my Red Book on me currently but, pretty sure it’s in there if I was to look.

 

Whuuuuut? Yours is NOT a BU coin. It may not even be a gradable coin AT ALL with that much reverse damage. That said, I also own several ROLLS in BU of that date and MM, and if they're going for $25 per, that's a $1000 roll. I think I paid about $4 a few years ago.

 

Ya'll are just haters.

 

I am just glad I tuned in today or I would have missed an education on out of series high relief Jefferson moon tribute nickels. I gotta have one now.

 

nip 'em all in the ankles Corgi !!

 

He has another thread about this, too. It is from a 'set' of coins he got. Don't know if he bought it from GovMint or if he got it from someone who did, but it is not BU, it's not even worth more than an nickel, basically.

 

I'm sure you can find one. They are out there. Sold in sets for 39.95 https://www.govmint.com/1969-moon-landing-tribute-5-piece-coin-set-with-patch-and-mpc-currency-note

 

Proving once again there's a you-know-what born every minute.

 

With that nickel and about 4.80 he can go to Starbucks and get a latte.
