1912 V Nickel

I came across this in the junk silver bin at my local gold trader. From what Ive read....1912 is a key date. I'm just wondering what I could possibly fetch for this coin if I were to sell it? Unfortunately,I'm almost sure it has been cleaned,and it isnt in the best shape to say the least .

Open up your Redbook and you'll see that the 1912 is very common. Don't have A Guide Book of United States Coins yet, even after all the recommendations posted on CT? It's the best $10-15 you'll ever spend on the hobby

BTW: The 1912-S is a key date. (The Redbook will even show you where to find the mm)

Hope this helps, and maybe other new collectors reading this thread will benefit as well

 

Well...poo

 

Not the rate date. It's worth less than a dollar.

 

Looks like a 1912 D to me!

 

It is,its barely visible.

 

A couple of bucks tops in this condition but you want the S.

 

Here is a Mint State 1912-D nickel which shows you the mint mark. It's under the dot on the left side of the reverse.



Oddly enough, this coin is cheap (only worth $1 - $2) in the well circulated grades, but expensive in Mint State.

 

The 1912-D is collectible (although this condition destroys the value.)
I'm not seeing the mint mark. Maybe a clearer photo.
