Hey so i gotta quick question. Today i found a 1971 nickel with no mint mark on either side and i hear its really rare, only like 2000 pieces? Is this true?
I'm going to say no - It IS true that there are 1971 nickels without the mintmark that are pretty rare (we don't know a number) but those are PROOF's. I'm betting 9-10 that your's is a business strike - common to find in circulation. Post a photo and we will be able to tell for sure. Speedy
If you found it in circulation, than I'm willing to say it is not rare at all... If it is a proof coin, than yes, you have a rare coin on your hands Pictures help
