Glad to see that we are all on the same page!
Sometimes things that are written are very easily taken out of context!

darryldarryl, that would be a great contest with glenzy & his hat. I'm sure that would make the next issue of coin news.  |

I wanted to show you a large bead canadian 5 cent attached/dangling jewel. I just took a quick picture with my iphone. It has the 138 beads located closer to the rim which is really the only way to be certain. Ken Potter's informs his client that counting the beads is the best way to verify because in looking at only the detached jewel you may overlook the more rare find the attached jewel. This coin is not registered and is in my private collection. I assume this is one of the coins not registered. Let me know if you guys have seen a better quality 1965 Large Bead Nickel.  |

OK..I am enjoying this post...  First things first...I would like to invite SPP-Ottawa and danlos9551 over to my house for a coffee (LOL)..Because both of you are very knowledgeable when it comes to coins...  Here is my question... 1- 1954 NSF nickel.....$15,340.00 (only 2 known) 2- 1936 dot penny......$402,500.00 (only 3 known) WHY is it that in coins even the RAREST coins do not get the most money...? In stamps, rare means rare...Only ONE stamp, it IS the rarest. |

Just my 2C, but I vote for the 1921 5C and the 1921 50C.

I don't get the prices on the 1936 dots personally, or for that matter the price on the 1911 dollar. Those coins must have hired great publicists!
The forces of supply and demand are fickle things. There is very little supply of 1965 large bead nickels and 1954 NSF nickels, but, for the owners, alas, there is limited demand also. In a thin market, prices can be all over the map.
While I personally care little about the 1921 rarities, the market for these coins seems to me to be more authentic. While they are rare, there are enough around that they come up for sale regularly and they trade regularly. Also, they are "normal" versions of well followed series. Their market values are pretty authentic I think.
With old rarities, the risk of new examples hitting the market is pretty low. With new varieties, new examples can always show up. We have seen that today with the 65 nickel and obviously we have all seen it with the 2006 no logo no P magnetic cent over the last year.

Thanks Daryl, This photo is the best I can do. I have to use my iphone my good camera is at my office. Hey Staircase, I am not sure how many were circulated. My understanding is that the Large Bead was use at the beginning of the minting and they switched it over at the early stages due to some of the flaws. I think most of the large bead 5 were melted back down but some got through. how many we are not sure. so far around 27 detached and 3-6 attached jewel are around but they are pretty beat up. I don't even know what a ms65 or pl large bead is worth. I get numbers all over the board. What does the latest book say. Anyone, Anyone  |

Hey Wert or fellow member.
Could someone post the charlton 2012 values of the 1965 large bead attached and detached nickel. MS60 through as high as they report values. I ordered a copy the other day but is not here yet.
Thanks in advance.

It's funny to hear all the excitement over the mules though. I don't pay for other people mistakes, I'm not the least bit interested. It's sort of like anything with a die crack, not interested. Metals fail, people fail, processes fail. I don't collect failure, I want peoples best work not their worst. (Some of the best strikes in circulating coinage are 1970 cents imo). Don't jump on me, I actively support other people who look for variations and varieties with genuine helpful intent.
Anyhow, I want the 21's.

yessssss! that means they'll be one less dude bidding against me for the error coins! => that's what makes the world go 'round (it would be nasty if we were all trying to marry the same chick and collect the same coins!)  |

What I am struggling with are the counts of proof like 1965 large bead detached or attached jewel nickels.  Does PCGS and ICCS have counts on them? Also the counts on all the other 1965 Large Bead detached jewels are 27. I am not sure of the breakdown of the 27 between attached and detached. Logic tells me the attached would be more valuable since it is an earlier strike and it appears to be more scarce. But I know with some of these coins some of the dealers control the market and that can be frustrating.  Thanks for everyone's help. I am use to US coins and I am getting my bearings on Canadian coins and the community. This is fun. |
