nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15559 Posts	Posted 04/18/2023 06:02 am to the CCF Sorry to be adding to the consensus - but this is not a valuable and rare error but rather someone's deliberate experiment to glue two coins together. The acetone soak will provide an answer. Quote: Can anyone tell me if I can sell this and retire No. But if you can find an old 5 cent Gumball Machine it should work there.

This coin was just temporally glued to another then pried apart. the backwards lettering tells you this much. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

mrwhatisit Pillar of the Community United States 2970 Posts	Posted 04/18/2023 09:30 am Actual double struck coins are not that common, and I have only found one ever, a 1941 nickel... One will notice that the devices and lettering are right side up and not inversed/reversed, on a genuine double-struck coin. Also you would see design features on the other side not just on one side like yours. Report this Post to the Staff

justmechillun New Member United States 8 Posts	Posted 04/19/2023 9:15 pm Hello all, Well coin gate is over. The coin reacted immediately with the acetone and the thin layer of epoxy floated off to reveal a beautiful 1974 nickel. Seeing as I am into this now for $6 plus the container, I now have a nickel worth approximately -$6.54 making this one of the least valuable nickles ever produced. Seeing as it is now the least valuable nickel ever produced, anyone think there is a premium for that distinction? That does make it pretty rare. And if it is worth something are we talking "retire immediately" type of value or more like "quit wasting our time posting obviously worthless nickels type of value?" Thanks everyone for the advice, you gave me just enough pause to wait on my new boat and car and I am sure glad I did. Good hunting everyone! Jg Report this Post to the Staff
