Normic67 Pillar of the Community 798 Posts	Posted 03/30/2013 12:19 am Mintage is 106,884,000. If it had an "S" mint mark it would be proof. Its real and I think its one of those coins where its kinda rare and not rare at the same time. But definitely real though. Report this Post to the Staff

Normic67 Pillar of the Community 798 Posts	Posted 03/30/2013 12:48 am By seeing an "S" on the coin then it is a proof. it will also be in the top grade a coin can be in, 70. so no circulation. Report this Post to the Staff
stefoon New Member United States 7 Posts	Posted 03/30/2013 12:55 am Type: Jefferson nickel Year: 1971 Mint Mark: S Face Value: 0.05 USD Total Produced: 0 Silver Content: 0% Numismatic Value: $784 to $1152 Value: As a rough estimate of this coins value you can assume this coin in poor condition will be valued at somewhere around $784, while one in "perfect" condition can bring $1152. This price does not reference any standard coin grading scale. So when we say poor, we mean worn more than would be expected from a coin in this age, and perfect meaning it looks "perfect" without flaw and possibly even certified. . Additional Info: There are several instances of a non S 1971 Jefferson nickel Proof. If you are buying one make sure its legit or has been certified to avoid a rip off. Stats above are for the no S proof version of this coin Report this Post to the Staff

macmercury Pillar of the Community United States 5825 Posts	Posted 03/30/2013 05:24 am Go to a coin show or a coin shop and ask to see a proof 71 nickel, seeing the real coin is best thing than looking at pictures. And when you see one without the S mint mark, you would understand the value! Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 03/30/2013 05:25 am The nickel you are talking about is a 1971-S Proof error, it was made without the mint mark when it should have had the mint mark on it. That is why it is valued so high. Your nickel is not a Proof but is a business strike 1971 worth five cents. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
