1980-D copper nickel

I have a dated copper nickel and a UN-dated copper nickel. Maybe someone can guess the date from the pictures and tiny rim of date numbers

A wild guess....1966

 

Sorry, photos aren't clear enough to try to guess the date.

 

Please post a photo with the date area rotated to the top.

 

Those are cool!! I am actively searching for wrong planchet errors. Just haven't found any nice ones with a good price. Sooner or later the rite one will show up.

 

I like errors dated 1980 d. 80 d sounds like a.d.d. haha

 

there's either two 8s or two 6s or a combo looking at those 2 numbers from the bad pictures.

So 1988, 1966, 1968 or 1986. I guess if you study the lower curves of those years you may be able to specifically figure it out.

 

A nickel struck on a cent planchet might be worth getting slabbed.
Paddy might know the value for something like this, but I don't think
they are common at all.

 

They generally sell slabbed in MS on eBay for around $200-300.

 

Here's the truview of the one I purchased.

Here are the seller's photos (with the note that the back looks "gunky" in the item description that I missed.




Here's what it actually looks like now, not far off from the seller's photos... make sure you read item descriptions before buying! I stupidly went to the truview and decided maybe the seller just somehow took a poor photo... I was wrong. The only thing red about this coin is the label. Still a cool coin though.

 

It straight graded, so the gunk didn't hurt it.
The reverse doesn't look like copper at all.

 

here is the date at the top. it has a copper penny color to it just shows up on this camera shiny.

 

The first 2 are 1, 9. The next two are identical which means it can't be 33, 'cause Jeffs started in '38. That leaves 66 or 88. No mint marks were used in 1966.

I'm changing my previous guess from 1966 to 1988 P.

Again, it's still just a guess, but a more reasoned guess.

 

thank you, good guess as any.

 

That will get you much closer than a guess.

 

It can't be 1988 because that wouldn't be a copper planchet.

 

The 2nd one is probably also a 1980, from my view.

 

Right again, Michael. So , where are we now?

 

It looks like an 80P to me.

If Fred says it's 1980, I would go with that until proven otherwise.
