SPP - You mentioned that you know someone who has at least two MS examples. Are they definitely MS, or are they misattributed specimens?

jg86, do you think the circulated examples are SP coins that were circulated?

I think SPP suggested it before based on Specimen coins he has seen all being Far 2s. I'm just curious as to whether or not these other Far 2s he knows of fit that description.
Question for you all:
I don't know what 1932 Specimens are presently worth, but let's say $500 for SP-65 (feel free to correct me). A F-VF 1932 was previously worth less than $1.00. If it was to turn out that these Far 2s were SP coins that were circulated, will the SP-65s change in value, and should a F-VF "circulated specimen Far 2" still be worth $200 - $400?

Just to play devil's advocate here... how would you know if a F-VF coin was originally was a specimen strike? The properties that indicate a coin was indeed a specimen strike, are sometime a product of the strike itself, and not necessarily a different die... Food for thought...

Thanks for the idea - I just might have to go re-grade my collection of F-12 coins as SP-12 and list them on ebay ;) I get your point, but if we were to establish that all Specimen strikes are Far 2s, or all uncirculated Far 2s are Specimen strikes, we could likely make inferences. |

Almost ALL specimen dies pre-1953 were "toned down" and then used to strike circulation coins. The strike means every thing. Not the die.

jg86, you are in the right forest, but looking at the wrong tree...
All things being equal, the dies, the planchets, etc... what would make the difference between a specimen strike and a business strike?

Following new data, I add 42 Near 2, so : 35/4406 = 0.79 % for the variety Far 2
and
4371/4406 = 99.21 % for the variety Near 2. Thanks  |

Auction with only one bidder means absolutely nothing in establishing a price point.Could easily be a case of "just gotta have one".
"Dipping" is not considered cleaning...

I'm surprised that one sold for $349.99, it looks to be VG-8. I'm holding on to mine for the time being.

I have 3 1932 Nickels. Two of which are definitely near 2 variety. I'm not sure about the third. Here is a picture of the date, please let me know if this is near or far. Is there varying degrees of near/far, or is it simply one or the other?  |
