Since I can't tell if it is 5 or more full steps from your image, I'm guessing it is worth at least 5c. Chris
That's a very nice looking nickel. It appears to be mint state which does have value. A keeper. Try not to get fingerprints on it, or clean it.
It's a nice looking nickel but it's not a FS so despite the fact it has not circulated much it is only worth face value.
Both the 1982 P & D are desirable coins in higher grades. The 1982 D lists in my current Numismatic News price guide, and it's only a guide, at $14.00 in MS65. Full steps would be more desirable but this is not one with FS. Very nice condition. I'll let others try to grade this.
Nope! Not a bit! All you've done is enlarge your existing image. It still doesn't show the bottom steps. Chris
In MS USA coin book shows $2- $6. It's not full steps and even $6 is high. It may be worth a dollar or 2 to a collector. It's a difficult market. A coin dealer doesn't want it. You would have to do the leg work yourself to find someone who wants it, and then if you are only getting a dollar out of it, it may not be worth the time, effort and money involved. Personally, I just put it in a 2x2 and label it and save it.
1982 D are desirable. The above coin may go for about $25.00. If the porch is counted as a step, this is a 5 step coin. The broken bottom lines are beneath the actual block of steps. The block of steps shows 5 steps. If graded as a 5 stepper, MS 64, it would be $35.00, at MS 65 FS, $55.00. As for it being 5 steps, get more opinions. As for now, keep the coin. Nice coin the cheek looks pretty clean.
I believe all 5 steps are there just hard to tell by picture. But will have to double check when I have the coin in hand. A big thanks to all of you for taking the time to talk to me about it. I appreciate all of it.
If there is any break at all, it shouldn't be full steps. If it were to grade full steps, then there is good value there.
