Found this 1992 D nickel think it's in pretty good shape

Hello, I bought five rolls of nickels and found this 1992 D nickel and I thought it was in pretty good shape. I was on Youtube and watched a video where someone sold a 2006 nickel for Four thousand dollars, have to admit I was shocked.

They claim it was because it had full steps, so having said this I was wondering what you think about this 1992 nickel. Also in order to sell a coin does it have to be graded by PCGS? (Hope I got the company right)

Thank you for your opinions.

Since the steps are on the reverse, need a shot of that.

But don't get your hopes up, the outlandish prices are for the 1 or 2 best of the best and that ain't it by a long shot.

However, what's up with the lamination/planchet issue at around 7 o'clock? If you can toss in a 45 degree side shot...

 

Sorry! Still learning how to post, I hit the wrong button. Lamination/planchet? Please have patience with me I'm new at this and not familiar with the coin language yet. I will send another picture in a 45 degree side shot. Thank you.

 

A "lamination" is metal that is peeling and would appear to a beginner as a crack but not a die crack. Some laminations are retained (held in place) and some are detached (fell away).

 

I do not think it is full steps, there appears to be discontinuous steps between the right 2 columns. There can be no interruptions of the step lines to qualify. Welcome

Hope this is what you meant, also I seriously didn't think this coin would be worth thousands I was joking. I just thought this coin was so shinny and thought it was in good shape and just wanted your thoughts. Appreciate your opinions

 

Directly below the second column from the right, there is a hit that cuts through the steps, so, no full steps. Back when I was a kid, I remember all those ads that talked about lincoln cents being worth hundreds and thousands, still true, but only if you have a 1909-s or 1909-s-VDB.

 

Not FS, not with those hits.

 

Shouldn't it be worth at least $2000? I mean, if a 2006 is worth $4000? It's a 1992, after all. Or is it because it don't got no steps? Maybe $1200, then? Just asking...

 

@Murillo be prepared for kidding...

 

After what date (lower relief redesign) did FS become the norm?

But this is CoinTalk, and someone expecting a coin pulled from their pocket, picked up in a parking lot, or removed from a garbage disposal, believing it to be worth millions is pretty much the norm. Go figure.

Yes... I'm exaggerating, but probably not as much as you may think. Welcome to the forum.

 

But that's how they reason. That's it, in a nut.

 

What I'm interested is marked:



To be sure, I need to see a photo of that area, well lit, and from 45 to 60 degree angle

 

I grew up with nothing but humor! I love people with a sense of humor!

 

Okay will try to get a better picture.

 

Goodness, this is the best I could do if there is something else you want me to take a picture of let me know and I will try again. Have to ask...why is this part of the coin so interesting? I'm new at Coin roll hunting and I would love to learn more. Thank you

 

Just a small die crack - the rest was light and shaddows in the original photos

 

Lol so small I can't see it
