Alex A Pillar of the Community 710 Posts	Posted 04/28/2019 09:16 am I'm sorting through an old stash and would like to keep an eye out for these. Is there a comprehensive list (or link) for the closed 5 that someone can point me to? Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21663 Posts	Posted 04/29/2019 09:34 am I don't really collect nickels so I can't be of much help but I have never heard of a closed 5 variety. I tried looking up the different varieties for my own info but can't find anything on a closed 5. Do you have pictures you could post so we can see what it is you are reffering to?

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21663 Posts	Posted 04/29/2019 10:19 am Thanks Rora57- Just never heard of this before. Looking at the picture, there doesn't seem to be a big difference. You would probably have to look at it under a glass to see it. Report this Post to the Staff
DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9873 Posts	Posted 04/29/2019 9:05 pm It's not a variety, it's an error and as such it can possibly occur in any year from the 50's. I know that 1956 is not the only date for which this error has been found,but I don't recall the others.. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Report this Post to the Staff
Alex A Pillar of the Community 710 Posts	Posted 04/30/2019 06:35 am So far it seems the 1953, 1955, and 1956 years have the closed 5 nickel. Are there other known dates? Thank you for the help! Report this Post to the Staff
