Hopefully Ebay got after this guy for a scam, rather than a bunch of people wasted their money.
Nothing new here. We even have local jewelers constantly advertising on TV that they pay the highest price for gold. those TV ads aren't free, so...
Try Google on 2000 P Canada nickel - that's what I did on the 2001
It sounds like 1/2 of a magicians coin.
Are the nickels Canada or US? I searched up these mintage figures for 2001 Canada nickels (not sure if they're correct): Mintages: 2001:...

I've rotated the OP's picture 180 degrees - maybe you can better see Roosevelt's image profile this way. It looks like the dies may have chattered...
jmclements - you asked for opinions on worth, but to be honest I don't think anyone can tell based on that small, dark picture in your first post....
If you can post good pictures of the obverse and reverse - that may help to tell if it's plated or not.

It was determined to be incuse (sunken) in the other thread: http://www.cointalk.com/t204303/ It's a great forum to learn! As you can now see...
