Message:: [QUOTE="covert coins, post: 731046, member: 14561"]Well went with my wife to visit some friends down near Toronto. I collect mostly US coins so thought I might try a couple of local shops and see what they had on hand. I found a coin shop and picked up a few wheats. This was a mom/pop type of coin shop and the guy dumps out a sack of wheats and says to go through them. In a short time I find a lamination error coin and a 1909 S wheat with doubling on the "1" &"9". Probably machine doubling. I pointed these out to the coin dealer who was happy to have them. He also pointed out some grading points to me which I had over looked. KUDOS to coin dealers who are always wanting to share there knowledge. It was a great 3 hr experience. Anyways he had a 1945 Jefferson Nickel probably fine at best. Had a HUGE die crack at  5 o'clock on the obverse. He had no idea what to ask for it and neither did I because he does not deal in varities often especially US coin. Anyone have an idea regarding the value of this. I like the coin but don't want to pay way over what it is worth..[/QUOTE]
