A 1964 d Nickel circulated but it in great shape a 1940 D Not in the best shape a 1971 nickel A 1990 D nickel With almost Full steps
I will say the 1990D looks to be in a rather nice and vibrant condition. I would expect to see this coin offered in a 2x2 at a coin store for between $0.15-$0.20. The market would be for someone who is trying to complete an album or perhaps finds 1990 to have some significance (birth year, graduation year, etc.). So it is perhaps not worth a lot over face value but still worth more than a nickel.
Hi Jskee, If I may give 2 cents worth of advice I would 1) get myself a Red Book. It's the best reference book for the money out there. It's about $15.00 on Amazon. It covers so many topics and coins, it is just invaluable for a new coin collector or coin hunter. 2) Learn about grading coins : What the grades are, what the grade scale is, how to grade, what conditions affect grades, etc.. I know it seems like a "long row to hoe" but as you get started and continue to learn, the understanding comes to you faster and better. Understanding the basics of coin hunting/collecting will save you a lot of time and trouble. Just asking questions on CT, though very helpful, will never provide the fuller understanding of Numismatics that your own diligent research will. As your knowledge increases, so will your discoveries, and with each new discovery comes the pride of "ownership" : You found that coin, You found it because you, with a little help from your friends here at CT, and through your own research, learned what to look for and how to understand that coin. Coin collecting can be a very enjoyable and satisfying pastime. Remember, you are always welcome to post photos and ask questions anytime. Here's some info I hope will help you get started : termsmethods PCGS Photograde Online - Estimating Coin Grades Has Never Been Easier grading-scale
