jizer1 Valued Member United States 214 Posts	Posted 01/06/2012 2:13 pm Thanks everyone! I will try and get better pictures when my sister returns. She has a nice and fancy camera. I'm really shocked that I found that in the wild. I hope I didnt use up all my luck for the year. What would you estimate the coin is worth, my Red Book says 12-15 bucks?

biggfredd Rest in Peace United States 9104 Posts	Posted 01/06/2012 5:40 pm Numismedia shows it under $7.50 in ms63, double that for 64, double again for 65. Can't tell by pix, but yours may only be au, and I can tell you, high grade warnix are not that easy to find. Report this Post to the Staff

I think you could get as good of a profit selling it without a "slab" but you should at least put it in a 2x2 flip. Compare to TheNickelGuy's posted pic. Left and right well defined steps with center full steps. Personally, I would not sell it. Report this Post to the Staff
smokeriderdon Pillar of the Community United States 3755 Posts	Posted 01/07/2012 11:27 pm Fred, I was speaking of the nickel that nickelsearcher posted, not the one the op posted. As I said, I am not taking a shot at grade based on those first pics. Report this Post to the Staff
