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?

A nickelsearcher should know better than to make that statement.


I was just testing you all biggfredd.

OK ... so my brain went into 'dumb mode' for a bit there ... appreciate the CCF family correcting my mistake.

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.

Not going to say a grade until better pics are posted, but best roll find on War Nickel I have ever seen.

nickelsearcher, THAT is beautiful. If it isn't prrof I would be REALLY shocked.

...and we all know that Fred meant "proof"

It is a beautiful coin and I would not get it sent to get "slabbed", but that is me. 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.

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.

Oh. misunderstood. I suspect that one is proof, unfortunately.
