Just curious where you would find the 1951 Specimen 5 Cent.

In which sets did these coins come from?

All I know is they exist, but from where is the question. Unless CoinsAndCanada is wrong?!

I paid $0.99 for this, I'm hoping its a Specimen! But if not, at least I got an UNC regular 1951 Nickel!

Yes, these exist in specimen strikes, I have one. Judging by the cheek and hair, yours is not a specimen strike.

It's a business strike IMO. Really neat holder though. I see that info it says specimen but I wouldn't be upset, I think that ebay adds that junk. Really cool good catch!

Nice souvenir sheet with that 5 cent piece,..but the shipping seems a little crazy for that nickel..

Here is one example of a 1951 Comm SP nickel showing with a cameo strike.

Happy hunting...!!

Nice looking coin. I hope you got it as part of combined shipping. At $18.58 US for shipping I would have passed right on by.
