Not your typical off-metal error - 1943-S Nickel Struck on Steel Cent Planchet

Sure it ain't the prettiest thing - actually, it's downright ugly - but it's the real deal, and that's all that matters :thumb:

I believe less than 50 of this type of error are known to exist.

freakin awesome! :thumb: I'd love to own one of those! :yes:

 

So would I!

It was the shop's purchase - can't afford to add it to my personal collection

At least I can admire it for a little while longer before it's off to the auction block.

 

Very cool! It's the first I've seen. Any idea of value?

 

couple grand

If the condition were better, it'd be a five-figure coin easy.

 

Wow. That is AWESOME.

 

Just think how many people who would find this nickel in the ground, or anywhere, and would just throw it in jar because it appears to be nothing more than a damaged nickel.
Awesome iGrade, and I look forward to it being in my collection.

 

I know you'll give her a good home, Greg. Treat her well.

Just like I treat your wife................... :devil:

 

Dude, you are so rude!
Jefferson is a man, don't call him a her!

 

Good news! I found a war nickel.

Bad news! It sticks to a magnet. No silver. Won't even go through the CoinStar.

Man, I thought I had a $1.50 coin...

 

so lucky

 

how much you paid for it???

 

how much did you pay for it???

 

Less than what it's worth

 

Frankly that's exactly what it looks like was done to it.
