It's obviously a 1962 Nickel, no mint mark. The kids are driving me nuts because it is, "SOOOOO COOL MOM!!" and of course the follow up question is, "How much is it worth mom?" My son swears its worth millions lol so cute.. I assured him I didn't think it was worth nearly that much maybe a few bucks if anything at all. Anyways any ideas what this is actually called/worth? The coin has a lot of wear on it that is for sure so I don't know if that means there is no value in it at all or minimal, but I think I am slowly learning a few things after reading everyone's post here, and I am still a little lost on that part of it. FYI I love how knowledgeable and helpful everyone is Thanks for your help guys and girls ;) Report this Post to the Staff

This die pair was over used, causing Die Deterioration Doubling. It spreads and nushes the devices and blends them into the fields. This is worth 5 cents. Sorry. Report this Post to the Staff

Very Late Dies State coins have the appearance of doubling, but it's die wash. to the forums! Let your son know that this wasn't the one but that you'll keep looking together. Good luck on the hunt!
