Found this mis-punched nickel today, is it worth anything?

    The coin was struck with a mis-aligned obverse die. That's a pretty dramatic one, so it's probably worth $15-$20 :thumb:

    If it weren't so dramatic, it wouldn't be worth any significant premium. Minor mis-aligned die errors are relatively common.

    The coin was struck centered in the chamber, as intended.

    It's actually the die that was "off center" ;)
