I purchased a nickel book from someone and was checking to see if any were of value and came across the '51 high relief which is going for an extremely high premium (from $400-2000) The toning on the face appears to look identical to other high relief versions I've seen online. Oh, and yes the reverse is the beaver. I don't know much about the rarity of this or whether this is in fact one, but hoping one of you can confirm whether it is or isn't. Thanks :) Edited by starklight 05/16/2016 12:29 am Report this Post to the Staff
