Message:: [QUOTE="JCro57, post: 3240557, member: 92083"]Well, as a rule of thumb, I don't usually say what I personally paid for a coin. The reason is many dealers have been very generous by giving me a nice discount, and it puts them in a bad position if someone finds out they gave me a 15-25% discount (or below recent auctions in similar grades/condition/error type) but offered them significantly less - or no discount - for a similar coin and grade. I do not think it is rude to ask (I ask people all the time!), but some do. Anyway, for the Nickel, it is an MS65RB (I have seen only a few others that are MS65; most are 64s or lower). Also, though most people love RD color for non-error cents, I find many like the RBs more for this error type as the colors tend to be more fantastic with hints of blue in them, as this one does. It also has a full, complete, and very crisp date. As for value, I always go by recent auctions of similar items. I put it at around $300. The quarter is also an MS65RB. Also has a very sharp and crisp date. With quarters on cents, because the die is so much bigger than the planchet, details are always going to be missing way more than for a nickel. Also has hints of blue on both sides. As for value, I put it at around $950.[/QUOTE]
