Someone_Else Posted August 13, 2022 · Supporter Posted August 13, 2022 Hello, new here but I wanted to ask people with more experience before I possibly spent money getting this coin graded. I received this coin in change years ago and have held on to since. It is quite obviously an error but is it worthy of keeping? Does it have value? Thanks very much, I greatly appreciate your assistance. 1 1 Quote
Restitutor Posted August 13, 2022 · Administrator Posted August 13, 2022 Welcome to the forum! I can’t really help with your question but thanks for sharing, never seen an off-struck nickel before. Quote
Someone_Else Posted August 13, 2022 · Supporter Author Posted August 13, 2022 No worries! A buddy of mine is member NGC. I think I'll get it graded. Amazing what you can get in change every day Quote
Benefactor DonnaML Posted August 13, 2022 · Benefactor Benefactor Posted August 13, 2022 (edited) Hi. You could also try asking at Cointalk.com, where they have a forum devoted to U.S. coins. Edited August 13, 2022 by DonnaML 1 1 Quote
Oldhoopster Posted August 13, 2022 · Member Posted August 13, 2022 (edited) You're a little off topic, since this is an ancient coin collecting forum, but I can provide some help. Your coin is a misaligned die error (MAD). This differs from a true off center in that only one side is struck of center. Normally, these are common, but yours is more extreme than usual. IMO, it's collectable and would probably retail for approx $5-10. It's not worth grading, however. As @DonnaML mentioned, there are other coin forums out there that concentrate on US coins (collectors universe, NGC, coin talk and others). Your questions about US coins will get a much wider audience on those sites. BTW, take a little time to check out the threads here. There are lots of really cool ancient coins posted. You may find them interesting. Edited August 13, 2022 by Oldhoopster 4 Quote

There are medieval and modern coins here too e.g. the Medieval and World Coins forums. But you're right, US coins are not a focus for anyone here. 2 Quote
Someone_Else Posted August 14, 2022 · Supporter Author Posted August 14, 2022 Thanks very much guys. I was not aware that this was not the focus of these forums. Thank you for the information on this coin as well. Enjoy! 🙂 2 Quote
