<p>[QUOTE="Bob Evancho, post: 4908137, member: 84595"]Good to see you joined Coin Talk as you begin your adventure in coin collecting. You will learn a lot from the many coin collectors and coin dealers on here. Many have been collecting for 40, 50, 60, and 70 or more years. They have much experience which they like to pass on to younger collectors. Follow the consensus of their advice. The value of your coin is silver plus what a collector will pay for the premium of the cracked die and the lamination. As you read books, you will learn the metal combination used for the war nickels was prone to lamination due to a poor mix and contaminants in the mixture. Over time you will find more lamination and die cracked coins and they exist in all denominations. Some collectors keep everything raw. Some like slabs. As you study coin collecting, read books, learn grading and learn die characteristics of the coins you collect, You will find it's not necessary to slab a coin unless it is one commonly altered or counterfeited or there is a large increase in value for one higher grade. Don't be afraid to ask questions on here. No question is "stupid". Most Coin Talkers are serious, one or two might give a sarcastic answer. You will soon learn who they are and don't stop being a Coin Talker because you got a sarcastic answer to a question. Listen to the advice of the serious collector and dealer. Happy coin collecting. You have a nice coin for a die crack and lamination issue.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
