The 0 on a 1950 is pretty much almost twice the size as the one on this coin, plus this is an old trick, old as the coin itself. I've seen it before.

That looks altered from far away even. That 0 is way too small. Can't believe people are actually bidding on it.

I'm not trying to sound elitist, but you can get a BU 1950 D for just a few dollars. Why would three bidders be willing to pay $6.25+ for this well circulated example?... assuming it is real.

How many is a few? I thought a 50D was worth quite a bit as nickels go

Nice catch NickelGuy. And thanks for the link. We should try to make that link easily accessible for everyone on the forum because it seems like CCF members catch fakes or misrepresented coins on ebay daily.  |

I literally found a fake 50-D while nickel searching that looked exactly like that. Using a 10x I determined it was clearly a 58-D. I kept it as a novelty.

You can get a 1950 D on ebay for about $10 practically any day of the week. There are several auctions right now for AU/BU 1950 D nickels. According to PCGS, nearly 225,000 MS 1950 D nickels are out there. |

I found a similar example while searching through some nickel rolls last week - a 1959-D to which someone had clearly taken a chisel! I decided to keep it in its own 2x2, with the notation "FAKE 1950-D". Novelty piece, and it only cost me a nickel!
eamus catuli!

That is a shame on the response. Lets hope this is just an ignorant person and not a deceptive person

Dear robbinstrio09,
Which do you believe, the footprints in the snow, or the eyewitness who tells you nobody walked in the snow?
