I bought this today from my local coin shop, its 40% struck off center. Also when I got home I noticed that line running from the stairs down to the 'd' in united, is that a die crack? How much do you think this is worth? I paid $14.00, I search nickel boxes ALOT and I just know I wouldn't find an error like this.Enjoy the pics.
that is an awsome error. as for how much its worth i have no idea but i would deffinatly pay what you did for something this cool
That coin appears to have a lot going on, off-center, die crack, die polishing lines, full steps. Without being an expert in the error field, I would say you did good for $14 dollars. I would go even further to say that that coin should be encapsulated.
That is a great coin! As for price.....I don't think you got a steal, but if you are happy with it, it is a good buy!! You certainly were not taken!!!! That is one cool coin.
Why pay $20 to $30 to encapsiulate a $14 coin? It's not like you need them to tell you what it is or whether it is genuine. Does grade really matter?
I personally think it is unique, in that it is a off-center strike and a die crack in one, with FS to boot. The Jefferson Nickel Error Collector may put a higher value in this coin than $14, especially if authenticated, attributed, and graded by a TPG.
Unless the die crack or Full Steps if it has any are legit, it's not worth grading. I mean, no date. So, you won't know if that has FS that are rare or really good for that year.
I think you did great for $14. That is certainly a coin most don't see very often. I would be happy to find it for what you paid. Thanks for posting!
Thanks for the input and comments. I had never purchased an error before, the original price was $18.50 , I shop there a lot so it was dropped to $14.00. I might get it encapsulated , when I get extra cash. Thanks again, oh yea I said 40% because that's what was written on the holder it came in.
