No not reallly i just know how it looks like. . it has the P over the house thingyy im new to this dont know anything about coins, if you look at this website thats how it looks. http://media.photobucket.com/image/...ickels/JeffersonNickel1943-PDDOPCGSMS67-1.jpg thaankks
If it is the 1943-P DDO , with true doubling of the motto, stars, and date also, then the value could be from just a few times the silver value to several hundred or more, depending on the condition and wear of the coin. That is why photos are asked for. Damage on the obverse side would drastically reduce the value. There is also some non-doubled die caused effects that are mechanically caused and do not increase the value. The photos have to be large enough to see what you see as doubling. Jim
Well, that is a beautiful photo, but the doubling is on the other side of the coin, where the eye happens to be. I am sure you want to know any possible value of your coin rather than this coin, and only a photo this size of the other side of your coin can help. And welcome to the forum. Jim
Thanks for the reverse photo, I did not see any doubling and agree that an Obverse photo might help to see if the doubling is there.
It's hard to tell from the photo but if it is uncirculated and has full steps then I would guess around a $20 coin. We have not ruled out a doubling since we can't see the obverse.
Without a doubled die aspect, it again depends on the grade of the coin. Sight unseen it is worth the silver in it. My dealer has a bucket of them. He buys them for 50 cents and sells them for a dollar. I sometimes go through them looking for the varieties when he is with a customer, but the reason varieties are pricey is exactly because the chance of finding one is like winning a middle prize in a lottery...possible, but unlikely. Jim
Crusty, the photo is not of his coin unless he paid the $11,000 to buy it at auction. The photo is from Lehigh's photobucket from Heritage Auctions earlier this year. He did say that his coin looked like it, but since that one is one of the best, most likely it isn't. Jim
Jim, You are correct, that is from my photobucket and is the Heritage photo. What I don't understand is why we are looking at the the reverse when the variety in question is a doubled die obverse (DDO). Kurdem, If you are interested in values in the high mint state grades, please read the following thread. http://www.cointalk.com/t50884/ The only auction price I could find for a circulated example is the following link. The XF40 coin sold for $38 http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=24033&Lot_No=11204 Hope this helped!
But seriously, if we can assume that it IS the 43 Doubled eye, and the obverse looks like the reverse, it's less than $30. That's the VF price in the Red Book. Joe
It also looks cleaned. If it has that wear and is a war nickel, almost always these coins are darker from being circulated. I have a million of them.
It is from the Mn content of the coin, not circulation or the Ag content that causes them to look darker than others.
