2 new errors from Ebay!!

Here are two Jefferson Nickel errors that I bought recently on Ebay


1988 P Jefferson Struck without collar....HUGE coin.....





1999 D Jefferson Double Struck.....this coin looks a little weird....does it look authentic to ya'll?



I paid $30 with shipping for these two coins....How do you think I did?

I think that you did very well.
Mike should be along soon, and he'll tell you.

 

I need to get one of those huge nickels!

 

Good, I thought I might have paid a bit too much...but I guess I really like both coins so it doesn't really matter :hail:

 

How do those get past the mint quality control.

 

yeah seriously.

but that huge nickel is cool!

 

NICE! I don't know how I missed the 1988 one! As for the price for both...you got a really good deal IMHO. I'm pretty sure that I'm right on this, but lets see what Mike thinks.....on the dub. struck coin.....the coin is also a MAD! While that doesn't add any value or such it is pretty cool!!!

I also got some nickel "errors" in the mail today! An off center broadstrike, and a 1943/2, and an 1942-D/D (horizontal)

wow not bad

 

Thanks! Anyone have any idea on value?

 

Nice!!!

 

I think the broadstrike is worth about $7 or $8, but I don't have a clue about the double-strike.

 

IMHO, your value for the coin is way off! With a 1988-P Nickel that will probably grade at MS-65 Full Steps and a Broadstrike Error that is massive, it should fetch a really nice price if certified and graded by PCGS. My feeling is that it is worth at least $30 and probably closer to $50 when it gets in a PCGS holder!

Also, I am certain that the 1999-D "Double Struck" Nickel is authentic and a nice Full Steps specimen at that!

Frank:
Agreed, but the cost of slabbing is too high for the end result.

 

And it will cost $40 plus postage and insurance to get it into the PCGS slab.

 

Yeah, thats why I'd send it to NGC=p

 

Well, whatever the value, I would suggest not slabbing your coins. They're very nice examples, but I think that, unless you plan to sell them, you leave them raw. And even if you do plan to sell them, an Intercept Shield holder would probably do to the trick, as those errors are difficult to fake anyway, which makes authentication of these (IMO) a waste of money. The only instance in which I would have a coin slabbed is if it was exceptionally rare, like a 1999 wide AM cent.

Either way, I suppose the best thing to do would be whatever you want to do.

 

True! I was only making a point! The coin in reality, should be worth at least $30 due to it's high grade and such a massive Broadstrike. Therefore, no matter what the 1999-D Nickel is worth, it was still somewhat of a freebie.

Thanks for all the opinions guys....I think I'll probably just keep them raw...but we'll see =p

 

I don't mean to offend anyone who does this, but really, what's the point of paying upwards of $20 for someone else to slap their opinion on your coin, if you're going to keep it anyway? I don't know if some people will say that it helps protect the coins, but if that was the case, just put them in an Intercept shield. Intercepts (IMO) are more attractive anyway, and, if anything, a better for your coins than some slabs. I don't know if I'm way off base here... just a little confusing to a small-time roll searcher.
