Glad I was not thinking, congrats nice find then! I thought that the devices did not get mushy or pushed out on broadstrikes, is that just on pennies or was I reading bad info?

The only real way to find a value would be to auction it.
That would be a great problem if it were in my collection, because I would want to keep it.
This would be a unique coin with the degree if distortion that it has, and it follows that valuation would be difficult.
Broadstrikes are relatively common, but not to this degree.
As a matter of curiousity, what is it's diameter?

Size of a U.S. quarter.

That is neat. Not an error guy but I would consider paying for that one.

It's a nice strong example of a broadstruck Jefferson nickel. Looking at past sales I would think a minimum of $50; maybe it could go for closer to $70. When they are this big and dramatic it certainly can pull in a few extra bidders. Being the size of a quarter is nice, I just don't know if the magnitude of the metal flow distorting the motto will make it more attractive or not. I'm thinking it is a 1984-P. |

It's spectacular. Mesmerizing. I'd definitely pay a premium for it.

I agree, jcuve. Large broadstruck nickels have really risen in price over the last few years. As to its being multistruck, it might be, but it will be hard to determine. Even when I have them in-hand it's tough for me. Others may be able to help if you post some close-up photos of E PLURIBUS UNUM. It looks like there might be some doubling in this area.

I was thinking 1994-P. The lower loop on the 9 is visible. It would have to be a nickel planchet. The quarter planchet would not drop through the machine. The rim would be copper-nickel. Not the layered sandwich you might expect from dime or larger planchet.

Upon closer examination, it is in fact a P.

Actually, I think it is 1984. The date has a lot of broadstruck nickels and the mintmark does't look like a 1994 mintmark.
