ccw2805 Valued Member United States 78 Posts	Posted 08/23/2011 4:58 pm I was wondering if anyone could tell me if this coin still had any collector value? I know the details on the back are practically non-existent but it does have a cracked planchet. Report this Post to the Staff

southsav Pillar of the Community 2224 Posts	Posted 08/23/2011 6:25 pm That is a 1892 right? Not trying to be funny but about 5 cents. Very worn. Report this Post to the Staff
mycrob Pillar of the Community United States 2604 Posts	Posted 08/23/2011 6:32 pm Even well worn V nickels from the 1890s are worth about 50 cents to a dollar (except 1894, which is a semi-key date). Not sure how much more you'd add for the die crack. Report this Post to the Staff
ccw2805 Valued Member United States 78 Posts	Posted 08/23/2011 6:32 pm Thanks for the answer and it would either appear to be 1892, 1898 or 1899. That part of the coin has really worn off. Report this Post to the Staff

yankee1227 Pillar of the Community United States 1151 Posts	Posted 08/24/2011 12:21 pm Yeah its definatly 1892 but not so sure either about the planchet flaw. Report this Post to the Staff
Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6399 Posts	Posted 08/24/2011 1:11 pm Could be a lamination defect in the planchet or post-mint damage that has been worn down with the rest of the coin. Either way this is a classic "filler" that can plug that hole in a date set until a nicer example comes along. This might be a good coin to give to a youngster just getting interested in coins. The potential benefits for inspiring a young collector are far greater than the $0.50 or so you might get from selling it. Report this Post to the Staff
